The Reaction Buffer

When you have a layer between the incident or the surrounding and your own thoughts and emotions, that is the space where you can evaluate your reaction to the external.

I don’t know how easy or difficult it is to create that layer. I just know it can be done.

My book on design thinking titled ‘Design the Future‘ is out. If innovation, design thinking, problem-solving, human behaviour or ideation are areas of interest, am sure you will enjoy this book.
You can get your paperback copy via Amazon, Flipkart & Infibeam & some other popular online bookstores.
Would be great if you could leave a review on Amazon once you’ve read the book.

With the stopping of production of Segways last year, but its more affordable robotic startup Ninebot doing well, one wonders if affordability must be integral to the success of a business depending on the business model and whom it aims to cater to.
