Though she started out acting, what really made Hedda Hopper famous was her work in newspapers. For several decades, she could make or break a movie career with her gossip column, sending statements to print regardless of whether there was any actual proof of what she claimed.

Search Amazon for the word ‘innovation' in its ‘Business, Finance & Accounting' book section, and you will find more than 60,000 volumes. The trick is finding stuff worth reading in this deep and wide ocean of material. The new book, Ideaflow: Why Creative Businesses Win, by Jeremy Utley and Perry Klebahn is just such a book. I welcomed Jeremy to this episode of TRIUM Connects to discuss the book as well as his general views on creativity and innovation. In the book, Jeremy and Perry argue that we shouldn't think of innovation as an event, a workshop, a sprint or a hackathon…but rather as a more general capability that can be learnt and is relevant to everyone. Their core principle is that you need ideas to solve problems – in contrast to completing tasks where you just need to get on with the work. But, instead of obsessing over quality, successful innovators focus on the generation of many ideas. Volume is key. Once you have a sufficient volume, then you run quick and cheap experiments to gather more information, revise and test again. Jeremy knows what he is talking about. He is one of the world's leading experts in innovation. As the Director of Executive Education at Stanford's renowned Hasso Plattner Institute of Design (aka "the d.school"). His courses [K1] have been experienced by nearly a million students of innovation worldwide. He advises corporate leaders on how to embed[K2] the methods and mindsets of design thinking into their organizations, and works with professionals to cultivate a robust personal creative practice. He also co-hosts the "Stanford Masters of Creativity," program where Jeremy shines the spotlight on exemplars of creative practice across disciplinary boundaries.What makes Ideaflow a great book, and what I really enjoyed in my conversation with Jeremy, is the concrete, actionable innovation practices described and the fact that they are backed up by solid research and evidence.

Join me and my guest Ivan Tyrrell as we dive into the basic fundamentals of what it means to be a thriving and emotionally healthy human being. Based on his co-authored work "Human Givens: a New Approach to Emotional Health and Clear Thinking" Ivan shares the fundamental necessities that all humans share. We dive into what doesn't work about modern psychotherapy, why REM state and dreaming is essential for our health, how trance and hypnosis is essential for learning and even into the nature of consciousness. Ivan Tyrrell worked for many years as a psychotherapist (specialising in brief therapy for depression and anxiety). He now spends most of his time lecturing and writing. As a Director of Human Givens College, editorial director of the Human Givens Journal, and board member of the Human Givens Institute, his influence in (and knowledge of) the field of psychotherapy and counseling is considerable. In 1992 he and a group of psychologists and psychotherapists established the European Therapy Studies Institute (ETSI), whose aim was to discover why some psychotherapy approaches appeared to work and others didn't. ETSI quickly gained several hundred members from a wide variety of professions whose support enabled them to publish a journal, The Therapist, the forerunner of the Human Givens journal. The human givens approach to psychotherapy and psychology developed out of the work and research of this group as they endeavored to bring greater clarity to the way people who become depressed, anxious, traumatized or addicted are helped, as well as making such help more reliably effective. Ivan is also co-author with Joe Griffin of numerous, influential titles, including: Human Givens: the new approach to emotional health and clear thinking How to lift depression… fast Why we dream: the definitive answer Freedom from Addiction: The secret behind successful addiction busting How to Master Anxiety An Idea in Practice: Using the human givens approach Release from Anger: Practical help for controlling unreasonable rage Godhead: The Brain's Big Bang – the explosive origin of creativity, mysticism and mental illness View all here > and five ground-breaking monographs on psychology and counselling including The APET model: patterns in the brain, which brings cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and SFBT approaches into line with new scientific discoveries about how the brain works, and The Shackled Brain: how to release locked-in patterns of trauma and Hypnosis and Trance States which gave the first psychobiological explanation for hypnosis. Other titles include: The Survival Option, published by Jonathan Cape and Back from the Brink: Coping with stress, published by Virgin Books, which he co-wrote with Nick Leeson. He is a founder member of The Conciliators Guild.   Join me at my upcoming 4 day event RESONANCE or another event: spohntrained.com/events

Ken & Mike wander this month into "The Wilderness Years", where they tackle various appearances of the Sixth Doctor - and (cough) "The Stranger" - in the late Eighties and early Nineties. Among other things, they examine the "Ultimate Adventure" musical production (yes, really!), novels from Virgin Books and BBC Books, and video cassette releases from BBV. There's also this thing called "Dimensions in Time" that they're obligated to discuss. Much to discuss for a time when Doctor Who itself was off the air!

As Tom hasn't ready any of the Missing Adventures published by Virgin Books (apart from The Sands of Time), Dave and Kenny work their way through all of the novels and share their thoughts

It seeks to use offenders' decision-making on where and when they choose to offend to either catch them in the act, prioritise suspects based on where they live or hang out or to seek further intelligence and evidence on the suspect. GP is able to infer an offender's familiarity with the area where the crime occurred, why they were there by analysing the locations and timings of offences. It has been found that criminals do not tend to travel far from their base to commit their offences (Bennell, C., & Canter, D. V. (2002). Linking commercial burglaries by modus operandi: Tests using regression and ROC analysis. Science & Justice, 42, 153–164); (Goodwill, A. M., & Alison, L. J. (2006). The development of a filter model for prioritising suspects in burglary offences. Psychology, Crime & Law, 12, 395–416) unless their particular target is not available in their vicinity. The utility of GP really came to the fore in the context of serious serial crimes, when psychologist David Canter assisted police in identifying the so-called ‘Railway Rapists' who had devolved into murderers in the 1980s (Canter, D. (2003) Mapping Murder: Walking in Killers' Footsteps. Virgin Books)....

Renowned addiction expert, speaker and author Dr. Gabor Maté is famous for his expertise on trauma, addiction, stress and childhood development. I went to see him speak in London at an absolutely packed out venue in Notting Hill. And then went to interview him at the offices of Penguin and Random House the next day. Coincidentally this is where my publisher Virgin Books is, though I haven’t been there for about 8 years though.  In this podcast we talk Addiction and addictive behaviour. How to live a more conscious life Parenting styles. Technology and how to use it mindfully. And lots, lots more. The day before this recording, Gabor was interviewed by Russell Brand, and had travelled to Russell's house for the interview. I joked with Gabor that if I get a few more listeners he’ll come to my house but until then I’m happy to meet him anytime for a chat at Penguin’s offices. I hope you enjoy this one. I feel privileged to have met Gabor.
