Whackiest way to change your life
What's the best way to whack yourself to a more creative way of life? Surely the Creative Whack Pack is one of the more practical systems to problem solving for anyone. I bought one sometime ago, now I'm buying four more for my colleagues at work and for Christmas I'll be buying some more

Top-notch creativity stimulators!
Roger vonOeck's WHACK series -- cards, books, etc -- are an outstanding way to boost your level of creative thinking in many areas of life: professional, personal, and even parenting/relationships! Whack-y approaches to perception and problem solving foster a "don't panic" mentality in troubleshooting and problem-solving with their upbeat attitude, but don't let that fool you into thinking that they are not the seriously useful tools they are. Highly recommended, R.vanO's WHACK and related materials will enhance your way of thinking and doing almost anything to which you apply their concepts! 0:) S.Mako

Incredibly Wild
I'm hesitant to say that it's going to change your life; you would certainly be better off meeting a wonderful teacher who can show you wonderful things about the world (and if you haven't emt one yet then you need to get cracking), but Roger Von Oech's Whack Packs are so very fun to play around with ;)

Predictably, all of the cards are just critical enough to be applicable to everything in the universe, just like depressing movies will never fail to get you thinking about the things you might want to change in yourself... But it's incredibly enjoyable to share with friends and have some fun with.

I'm particularly partial to the art style (it reminds me of Terry Gilliam) and the vignettes are fantabulous.
