    • Relevant today as it was years ago

      Filled with a ton of great ideas and interesting tidbits of information on "the different" and creative way of looking at things and problem solving. Lots of exercises to support the message. While a bit dated, the message is relevant to today... as it was when the book was published... and updated.

    • All about creativity, both in small and global ways.

      Over the years I have had a few of these books and given them away to friends and colleagues. Great books, I bought this one for my granddaughter to keep her mind creatively active.
