Breaking the Default: Escaping Patterns to Create New Paths

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

We’re creatures of habit—wired to repeat patterns, even when they no longer serve us. But what if the greatest barrier to creativity isn’t a lack of ideas, but the invisible defaults we rarely stop to question?

In Breaking the Default, Vicky Baker reveals how to spot the routines, assumptions, and invisible scripts that quietly shape our choices—and how to break free from them. Through compelling stories, practical exercises, and smart strategies, she shows how innovators across fields have learned to unstick their thinking, disrupt the familiar, and carve out bold new paths.

You’ll learn how to challenge the obvious, push past creative ruts, and uncover opportunities that only emerge once you step outside the default mode.

Whether you’re rethinking your work, your projects, or your everyday decisions, Breaking the Default will inspire you to break patterns—and build something refreshingly new.
