Scheme the impossible! Turn your vision into reality! Transform what if into what's next! Discover how to make your ideas work for you with this transformative guide from Stanford University's d.school.

"An operator's manual to design thinking."--John Maeda, Vice President of Design and Artificial Intelligence at Microsoft

Possibility is the ability to see something in your imagination and materialize it in real life. You already possess (almost) everything you need to make things happen--Make Possibilities Happen helps you find your way.

Discover tools and strategies for overcoming the hang-ups that prevent you from getting things done or even starting. Learn exercises for building the creative capacity of your brain. Explore ways to build on the momentum of your work so that you can keep going. Award-winning author Grace Hawthorne shares insights, ideas, and activities from the Stanford University d.school courses she teaches, as well as scientific research and entrepreneurial escapades to get you thinking productively toward making possibilities a reality.

It's hard to begin, uncomfortable to not know, natural to question yourself, easy to be impatient, and challenging to swallow setbacks. This book addresses all of these hurdles and walks you through four main stages of turning your idea into reality: SEE (imagine what's to come), START (just begin, this is everything), DO (show up and work), and FINISH (follow through).

You can positively alter your life--and other people's lives--by making the inklings of your imagination real. All you need to do is pick up this book and START.
