Summary: Powerful means of creative production
Review: The Vance/Deacon book "Think out of the Box" contains powerful tools whose simplicity belie their strength. Working visually and in color (to name two) are so obvious once ingrained that you wonder why you needed to have it pointed out. Therein lies the real power of the book; important techniques articulated by two of the most creative people around that really work. Not "tricks". No spoon feeding. You've got to actually think about what's being said but if you do I've found the results I was looking for quite in addition to some fascinating biographies. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Summary: Same old, same old. Save your money.
Review: There is nothing fresh or original here. Often one wonders what the point of this book is (besides name dropping). The title should have been "Stuck Inside the Box." The profiles at the end are idle chit-chat with no relevance to the concept of breaking out of the box. If you're looking for an inspirational book for yourself or your organization, keep looking.
