Broader Applications
I discovered this book while researching the topic of parents helping nurture creativity in their children. Since my first premise is that we are all creative and that parents need to conncet with their own creativity, the book gave direct help on understanding how to spark adult creativity. Also --enormously helpful was its simple, logical organization--that guided me as I organized my own thoughts for my speech. Super bibliography. Good reference book to have around--not just for the topic, but also for its direct and utilitarian style.

As my creative doctor says....
Say Aha.....
This book, for me, is a solid 3.5... it's light on when it comes to techniques but full of good ol' fashioned homestyle advice in other ways. Want to be more creative: read more and read more broadly. Keep a journal. Make your creative "space" pleasant and interesting.
Problem is, it sometimes feels that that's all you get. If you're looking for models to follow then this isn't your book. If you're looking to make a start on a more "creative" life - career, long planned novel - then this book hits the spot just right.

Stinker!
This book is one of the most trival "works" on the subject known. I think the author has hitched his wagon the the "creative spirit" train trying to take his knowledge to another level. Too bad the book is ripe with thoughts and ideas taken from more credible sources. Pass on this one if you are serious about idea building in business. I've heard the author lecture and that's just as bad. Better books are from the author, John C. Maxwell. Similar Products
