This engineering book review/discussion explores commo n themes of two books. []\n\nBrilliant!: Shuji Nakamura And the Revolution in Lighting Technology by Bob Johnstone.\n\nShuji Nakamura is the enginee r that discovered how to produce blue LED lights. The blue LED was the gat eway to all modern LED applications. It was a theoretical and technologica l challenge with some practitioners denouncing the prospect of it ever bei ng possible. On the path to its development\, Mr. Nakamura decided to publ ish his work in academic papers. The blue LED origin story is fueled by in dividual tenacity\, academic expectations\, societal challenges\, and poli tical disruptions which resulted in lawsuits against Mr. Nakamura despite his discovery and its success.\n\nHow to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie.\n\nHow to Win Friends and Influence People was originall y published in 1936. It is considered one of the first best-selling books published within the self help genre. Nearly a century later\, it continue s to be printed in multiple editions\, selling over 30 million copies. It is on many practitioner’s bookshelves and today remains within the top t en books in Kindle’s Business Leadership category. It remains a highly r ated book\, in both the rating and the number of reviews. Even though it i s a book that has been available for a long time\, it seems that it is sti ll relevant today.\n\nHow do these two books relate with one another\, and what lessons can be learned by combining and contrasting their messages? How can the story in Brilliant! relate to the advice given in How to Win F riends and Influence People? What are potential lessons learned for engine ers today who are leading in the edges of innovation? The reviewers explor e these two books together by combining common themes for discussion\npoin ts and add their own experiences from their engineering careers. Their goa ls are to link literature to current-day challenges and for participants t o:\n\n- Gain different perspectives\, both from literature and from the re viewers.\n- Get inspired toward action: to try something new\, read one of the books\, or make new connections with others.\n- Inspire others in the ir engineering work.\n\nCo-sponsored by: Peter Silverberg\n\nSpeaker(s): S teven Giako\, Dianna Deeney\n\nAgenda: \n7 pm: book review & discussion\n\ nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/418437 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/418437 ORGANIZER:ieee@gpamg.org SEQUENCE:59 SUMMARY:Engineering Book Review/Discussion URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/418437 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p><strong>Join us! </strong>This engineering book review/discussion explores common themes of two books. <img style="f loat: right\;" src="https://events.vtools.ieee.org/vtools_ui/media/display /ff426d1d-55f1-49c5-85ff-0caa4c361187" alt="" width="540" height="304"></p >\n<p><span style="text-decoration: underline\;">Brilliant!: Shuji Nakamur a And the Revolution in Lighting Technology</span> by Bob Johnstone.</p>\n <p>Shuji Nakamura is the engineer that discovered how to produce blue LED lights.
