The Riddle: Where Ideas Come From and How to Have Better Ones

Razeghi's self-help text is designed to assist the everyday genius in finding those “ah-ha” ideas like those Albert Einstein and Thomas Edison came across in the past. Razeghi presents his thoughts in a straightforward, user-friendly manner, which leaves little room for interpretation for narrator Jim Bond. Though his voice is deep and affirming, it becomes monotonous, and listeners may find themselves tuning out halfway through this seven-disc set. Bond sounds like he's simply going through the motions in an uninspired and dreary narration. While the target audience may find some of Razeghi's tips useful, there is little effort made to keep them interested for the duration. Simultaneous release with the Wiley hardcover. (Feb.)
