This is the 1st Ning Cai's book that I've read. Accidentally saw this book on the library shelf. Borrowed it and started reading it from first page to last.
Interesting book on creativity. It really changed the way I see things after reading the book. I bought 2 of the books after finish reading it cos I am going to give it to my family members.
