Steven Johnson's 'Where Good Ideas Come From' mind map distills 87 nodes across 9 key concepts from his book on innovation. It explores how ideas emerge from 'The Adjacent Possible', 'Liquid Networks', and 'The Slow Hunch', with specific branches on 'Serendipity', 'Error', 'Exaptation', 'Platforms', 'Reef, City, Web', and 'The Fourth Quadrant'. The map includes striking definitions like 'a new idea is a network of cells exploring the adjacent possible of connections that they can make in your mind' and cites that 'over 50% of Google's new products are derived from 20% time'. This template serves as a comprehensive cheat sheet for understanding the patterns behind creativity and innovation, ideal for entrepreneurs, educators, and knowledge workers.
