About this product

Product Information

When was the last time you had a creative idea? This morning? Last month? Last year? Sometimes you need A Kick in the Seat of the Pants to get your thinking going. This book does just that by taking you on a guided tour through the four roles of the creative process-Explorer, Artist, Judge, and Warrior. When it's time to seek out new information, adopt the mindset of an Explorer. Get off the beaten path, poke around in outside areas, and pay attention to unusual patterns. When you need to create a new idea, let the Artist in you come out. Ask what-if questions and look for hidden analogies. Break the rules and look at things backwards. Add something and take something away. Ultimately, you'll come up with an original idea. When it's time to decide if your idea is worth implementing, see yourself as a Judge. Ask what's wrong and if the timing's right. Question your assumptions and make a decision. And when you carry your idea into action, be a Warrior. Put a fire in your belly, eliminate your excuses, and do what's necessary to reach your objective. Kick provides exercises, stories, tips, and Roger von Oech's proven techniques to help you strengthen each of your own creative roles.

  • If I have bought so many of them...given them away...they must be good.

    I usually give Von Oech's books away. I have read his books in detail and take them seriously. In this case, I am mentoring my granddaughter. I will be using some of the activities to challenge her...and help to develop creative mental discipline. If I have bought so many of them...given them away...they must be good.

  • Second time around

    Read this book maybe twenty years ago. Great to read it again. One of the several 8 or 10 books that ment a lot to me in my life that I have decided to reread.

  • Become a WARRIOR w/this Awesome Book

    LOVE this author! Everything he writes has been an inspiration for me! I highly recommend this book just like his other books. He gives your Brain a RUN for the MONEY and will get you thinking new ideas and learn how to become a WARRIOR on a mission to meet your goals! Excellent motivating Book!

  • Good book, easy to read

    Even though it's an old book, it's easy to read and have a lot of information provided. The important text is bold, or providing larger font in the paragraph.
