A really good book about creativity
The book is very well written, straight to the point so I think the insights shared are very actionable and applicable. As a professor and as a practitioner in the industry developing products/services, I have reviewed tons of innovation models and papers about creativity and this one of the best resources I have found so far. I am sure you wont be disappointed.

Muy bueno
A mi me gusta el libro porque te hace reflexionar, pero si admito que al libro le hace falta más estructura y forma en las ideas.

Simply Brilliant
Such a great easy read to remind us all of what we are capable of when we remove the structured ingrained processes and tap into the imagination that we all have.
