Review
"This is such a cool book. The range of Jono’s knowledge is astounding, and so is his ability to digest complex ideas into deceptively simple drawings. You’ll learn something on every page―and be entertained too." - Bill Gates
"Big Ideas, Little Pictures" is a magical collection of ideas, concepts, and wisdom―some that I've wondered about and others that I've never thought about before―presented in a clear visual way that makes Jono's sketchplanations a joy to read, reference, and share. 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
I'm an enormous fan of the wonderful way Jono's sketches bring scientific insights to life for a wide audience. - Katy Milkman, Professor at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and author of the international bestseller How to Change
As the world becomes more complex and fraught, the more we need clear and honest pictures to show us a better way. In his marvelous book, Big Ideas, Little Pictures, Jono Hey gives us the pictures we need. Whether exploring the size of the universe, unpacking the paradox of choice, or illuminating the pure joy of the Golden Ratio, Jono's brilliant sketches make everything make more sense. I can't think of a better gift for my mind, and yours. - Dan Roam, international bestselling author of The Back of the Napkin and Draw To Win
