Out of the Box

If you need a creative boost, this book will surely do the trick with 101 unique ideas! A must-have for anyone who relies on creative thinking.

Chapters include: Recognizing Creativity, A Creative Attitude, Thinking Around a Problem, Generating Ideas, Being Creative with Others, and Making It Happen.

Break free from the patterns of habitual thinking—and enter a new world of out-of-the-box ideas, imaginative solutions, and creative satisfaction. These 101 techniques will help you find original styles of thinking, open yourself up to new possibilities, and turn your best schemes into practical reality. Start by recognizing the boundaries we set for ourselves—restrictions we may not even realize we’ve imposed. Choose from a wide repertoire of mind-expanding, problem-solving strategies for home, work, and leisure. Discover the value of following your intuition and thinking laterally, and see how to avoid the mid-project blues. And for some fun, there are puzzles to show you how it feels to be trapped inside that box—and make getting out even more delightful.

Focus is centered on: finding new styles of thinking, training yourself to be mentally supple (to solve problems effectively and without anxiety), taking a creative approach to all aspects of everyday life, turning your ideas into practical realities, and opening your mind to new possibilities.
