\\I recently read Peter Sims' book, [*Little Bets: How Breakthrough Ideas Emerge from Small Discoveries*](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1439170428/ref=cm%5Fcr%5Frev%5Fprod%5Ftitle?ref=philsimon.com)*.*

I enjoyed this book because it emphasizes the importance of failure and the impossibility of getting it right on the first try. It's hardly my favorite book on innovation, but it's a good, quick read.
