Interesting take on this book. It comes up w/ a variety of ways to think outside the box which many folks don't bother doing. So there are actual techniques that one can use to be able to come up w/ something different. There are so many examples in the book which I find to be helpful since didn't realize most of them. It really makes you think about discoveries were made & what connections may have been made in order to come w/ them. The thing I found a bit out of reach is that this person is British so there are things he relates to that don't make sense to me. Still worth checking out.

A good business book, but also helpful for personal life actions. Witty prose and enjoyable illustrations. The A-Z format of the tips makes them more memorable. The case study highlights in the box are entertaining examples of each technique. I do think applying the techniques could increase your "genius moments" and help you to cleverly solve problems or take an idea in a novel direction. It highlights steps to unleashing on's creativity and elevating one's thinking skills.

Kind of an inspiration push start for people in business, but has plenty of ideas for anyone who has to approach life and work in a creative way. I get most of my inspiration from reading while watching TV and listening to music, all the while pounding down coffee, iced tea, or diet soft drinks, with an occasional 0-calorie energy drink for heart health.

Nice ideas....yet, this book appeared to be targeted to teenagers with all the graphics/illustrations.
