Thinkertoys (A Handbook of Business Creativity)

Rating:
Summary: "Must Read" for Every Aspiring Creative Thinker
Review: Thinkertoys expands your imaginative capacities with easy-to-use techniques you can employ again-and-again in all your creative endeavors. A newer book well worth reading is Why Didn't I Think of That? - Think the Unthinkable and Achieve Creative Greatness. These two books together cover the full spectrum of useful creative thinking skills every serious thinker must possess. The skills are learned, not inborn. The very best approach to fully developing genuinely breakthrough creative thinking skills is to experience and practice them with intensely practical books such as Thinkertoys and Why Didn't I Think of That? In the process you will learn to think what you now find unthinkable and, with practice, you can, indeed, achieve creative greatness.

Summary: Worst plagiarization of creative techniques I've seen
Review: This author has managed to put together a pretty well written book of other people's ideas and make the reader think they are his own. There is nothing original here - it's the worst case of plagiarization I've ever seen!

Rating:

Summary: This book is a gift of life
Review: This book is a treasure. I was depressed and defeated at work until I read this book. It seems that most people spend their time trying to figure out why things don't work and why things can't be done. Michalko turns that around with his creative-thinking techniques. Now, for the first time in a long time, I find it a joy to go to work and look for creative ways to get things done and make things work.
