"The Creativity Book"
I like to "test drive" books by first checking them out of the local library. Most of the time I read them or leaf through them and then return them. But every once in a while, I come across a book that I just have to have in my personal library of "books for the journey."
The Creativity Book by Eric Maisel, Ph.D., is one of them. Dr. Maisel provides a series of exercises designed to encourage creativity in everyone, from artists and writers to leaders and managers. The exercises range from writing a 2500 word autobiography to just getting up and going directly to work on a creative project. I really liked Dr. Maisel's belief that we all benefit from enhancing our creativity, regardless of whether or not we consider ourselves "artists".
