Gary Davis breathes life into a textbook, nonfictional and theorectical to the core. The use of pictures, transitions, creative and self-actualized self-tests and the few times he inserts himself and talks about his own research at the University caused me to buy in and want to read everything. Davis begins by talking about definitions (which there are many) and theory of creativity. He writes about places creativity may come from and the traits of a creative person. The most beneficial aspect of this book had exercises of how to increase creative thinking skills and cause people to think "outside the box".

Phenomenal book. An absolute must for any teacher desiring to be more creative in the classroom.

Davis does an excellent job of summarizing the literature on creativity and does his best to keep it light while doing so.

[Stacey · Rating 4 out of 5]

Not bad. Not a fan of the format. Very sporadic and confusing in some parts.

[Morgan · Rating 3 out of 5]

Good info, but the authors try too hard to be funny. It ruins some of the chapters.
