Main ideas

• "The things to do are the things that need doing that you see need to be done, and that no one else seems to see need to be done." — Dr. R. Buckminster Fuller
• Richard Buckminster Fuller was born on July 12, 1895, in Milton, Massachusetts, and died on July 1, 1983, in Los Angeles.
• As a child he is diagnosed as nearsighted, gets his first glasses, and sees objects clearly for the first time in his life.
• Doing what needed to be done while adhering to Nature's principles was the strategy Fuller used to support the creation of his vision of "a world that works for everyone," by employing trial-and-error experimentation.

Why it matters

"The things to do are the things that need doing that you see need to be done, and that no one else seems to see need to be done." — Dr. R. Buckminster Fuller. The book distills that working principle into an accessible portrait of his life and method.
