Awake at the Wheel: Getting Your Ideas Rolling

I hardly read self-help books because I’m a self-motivated person (seriously!). Stephen Covey’s “7 Highly Effective Habits for Highly Effective People” was my last motivational book, simply because it was a “required reading” for a Management course I took.
Unlike other motivational books, “Awake at the Wheel” begins with the fable of Og, the caveman who invented the wheel. Og is portrayed as an average Joe or Jamal or Jee Yee with a job, a wife, a house (or a cave) and a son. One day, he stumbled upon his Big Idea and he:
“…found it hard to sleep at night. Hard to sleep and hard to hunt and hard to do just about anything but think about his Big Idea.
He thought, of course, about telling someone - his best friend, Ugh, perhaps, or Aargh, his beloved wife - but he just couldn’t bring himself to do it, not quite sure they would actually understand.”
