It’s a fantastic book!”– Mike Rohde, bestselling author of The Sketchnote Handbook and illustrator of REWORK

“Brilliant! It distills a variety of complex and profound ideas into simple to understand and beautifully drawn sketches.” –Richard Shotton, author of The Choice Factory“Big Ideas Little Pictures is the kind of book that I want to devour all at once, with his brilliantly efficient illustrations breaking down complex ideas–but that I make myself ration to a few pages per day, to give myself time to absorb everything. Either way, it’s the best bet I have to make myself seem more interesting as a dinner party guest.” –Brendan Leonard, creator at Semi-rad and author of Make It: 50 Myths and Truths About Creating“Jono’s delightful book is a fantastic blend of text and visuals, making the topics easy to understand and remember. I found myself eager to turn each page, learning things I had never known before. I love this book and recommend it to anyone looking to enrich their knowledge at super speed with some creativity and fun.”–Jason Barron, author of The Visual MBA
