The book's main theme of product reinvention and personal reinvention has resonated with reviewers and readers as evidenced by its awards and Amazon rankings. According to the author, Ken Thurber, Do NOT Invent had its genesis in unresolved questions and comments from his first book - Big Wave Surfing - Extreme Technology Development, Management, Marketing and Investing.

Thurber says, "I found that my first book raised many questions, chief among them was - how do people innovate and how do you define innovation." Accordingly the main theme of the book is about reinvention and understanding product positioning. In the pages of Do NOT Invent you'll find case studies of products like the Ford Mustang, the Segway and the iPod. The book examines why some products get it right while others don't quite measure up.
