Create..., Dr. Myra Richards and Dr. Michael Scott-two lifelong friends, former Little League teammates, and co-creators from the legendary design firm IDEO-reveal a powerful truth: creative confidence is not a rare gift. It is a muscle.

When Michael was diagnosed with cancer in 2007, the two friends made a promise: if he survived, they would travel together and write a book to help others unlock their creative potential. They fulfilled both promises.Build... Believe... Create... is part memoir, part practical guide, and part invitation. Whether you're an artist, an entrepreneur, a corporate leader, or someone who simply feels stuck, this book will help you answer one simple question: What are you meant to create in this world?
