Interesting book!

I admit that the book started off like I was reading another tiresome extended "listicle" (e.g., 10 Ways to be Creative), but the last three chapters - Sensitivity, Turning Adversity into Advantage, and Thinking Differently - are rich. It's here were I started feeling a stir in my own self to be not just creatively motivated (because I've been in a debilitating rut lately) but where I felt the call of my tribe. It's worth the read and I'm super glad I stuck with it.

Given that we are living in an age when creativity will be the skill that is most in demand, this seemed a relevant read, interesting, and relevant, but did seem to be reporting much that is obvious, although it does back up statements with recent studies in psychology and neuroscience.

I feel extremely neutral about this book. It's mostly a bunch of research regurgitated randomly around the general idea of creativity, but most of it was nothing new to me. The writing wasn't particularly compelling and read more like a literature review than revealing any new truths. It's okay, but not spectacular.

Good overview of various research into creativity.
