Book Description

Publication Date: 30 Jan 2009

Learn secrets for success and how to unlock your creativity with a book that contains tips on how to achieve anything you desire, and charts the extraordinary and hilarious real-life adventures of Britain's most inspirational IDEAS MAN.

Sheridan 'Shed' Simove is a modern day creative genius. He lives and breathes ideas. Every day of his life dozens of new ideas spring from his astonishingly active mind. The ideas can relate to pretty much anything - TV shows, ranges of sweets, executive toys, greeting cards, money-making schemes - the list is endless. And if an idea hasn't been done before, then Shed is sure to attempt it...

IDEAS MAN is the true story of this visionary maverick's amazing adventures. At breakneck speed, Shed describes how dozens of his ideas came to be, how they succeed or sometimes disastrously fail. Some of Shed's ideas include: a range of adult sweets called 'Clitoris Allsorts', a groundbreaking documentary that involved him going undercover as a 16-year-old schoolboy (when he was 30) and the launch of his own currency - the 'EGO'.

IDEAS MAN is a unique book written by a completely extraordinary character. A hilarious and inspirational real-life tale of eccentricity and enthusiasm, it's perfect for anyone who's ever had a dream and wondered how to make it come true. Shed is living proof that you really can make it happen...

5.0 out of 5 stars Strange stories peppered with helpful hints 23 Feb 2009
By Mr. S. Whitehead
Format:Paperback
This book is good value for money. Not only do you get a thoroughly readable and fascinating autobiography of a rather unusual individual, but also practical tips on how to capture ideas and turn them into adventures, as Shed himself has done. Taking a trip into Shed's bizarre world, you will discover what it takes to break into the world of television, the novelty (often naughty!) product business, authorship, art...

The secret is simple - take Shed's recipe for idea generation, find the right people to help and add a dash of eccentricity, a heapful of bravery and a ton of perseverance. It's not for everyone, but which of us wants to be "everyone"? This book itself is one of Shed's idea experiments, so you may well end up playing a part in his strange and wonderful story.

5.0 out of 5 stars You gotta admire his tenacity 10 Aug 2008
By Chris Kinley
I had the advantage of meeting Shed and watching his presentation at Borders in Kingston yesterday. He signed my copy of his book (with a stamp) and I took it home to read. I just finished it.
I found the book well written, inspirational and in general an adventure into the world of ideas creation and the entrepreneurial spirit. Some readers may mistake and ego for what I think is passion and doggedness to succeed and and undying belief in his own dreams.
One of the reasons I choose to live in England is that just occasionally you stumble on an eccentric like Shed and with this book I was able to jump along for the ride, if just for a while.

5.0 out of 5 stars Persistence pays 7 July 2008
By S. A. Burley
It is interesting, and it is inspiring too.
Relax, open your mind, and read it for what it is, not for what you expected it to be, reviewers.
Shed is telling you how he did things, not necessarily how you should; but I find that there are a lot of good tips in there.
That's it.
Thanks Shed, a good read.

If you want to read a fairly uninspiring book about a man who gets incredibly excited about some very average and not very successful ideas then this is the book for you.
