Your Creative Power: How to Use Your Imagination to Brighten Life, to Get Ahead

by Alex F. Osborn

Alex Osborn wrote the

"Emotional drive is self-starting and largely automatic, whether based on hunger, fear, love, or ambition. "

"For all of us, a good rule is always to encourage ideas—to encourage speaking up as well as thinking up."

"Whatever creative success I gained was due to my belief that creative power can be stepped up by effort, and that there are ways in which we can guide our creative thinking. "

"If we set aside a defined period for creative thinking we can best lure the muse."

"With enough creative effort, each of us could find the ideas that would smooth out rocky roads!"

[Mark Stattelman · Rating 5 out of 5]

I would give this book 20 stars if I could. I read it when I was about fourteen. The anecdotes and the stories of important people (of the time, long past) are dated. But this is an awesome book that I remember having a powerful impact on me.
