The Secret of the Highly Creative Thinker: How to Make Connections Others Don't

by Dorte Nielsen, Sarah Thurber

People who are good at creating ideas are good at seeing connections. Could teaching people to see connections be a way to help them be more creative?

Over the years, there's a need for a book on creativity that complements the teaching of the creative process and tools and gives you a practical approach to how to enhance your innate ability to think creatively. This book as an opportunity to dispel the myth that creative talent is something possessed by a gifted minority. This is the opportunity to pass on 'the secret' of highly creative people to a much wider audience. It's a chance to give others the knowledge, techniques, and training they need to enhance their own innate creativity and lead the way to fun, fulfillment, invention, innovation, and change.

It's a unique book that combines a very hands on and practical approach with a solid scholarly foundation.

highly recommended for anyone - not only those who work in a creative environment.

Creativity as defined in the book is recognised as one of the most important skills to succeed in today's business environment.

“In the creative mind, roaming behind the helpdesk you’ll find, not a librarian, but a conductor, who orchestrates thought processes using the whole library, drawing on every conceivable resource, making remote combinations and far-fetched connections. Everything is that play at the same time.”

A fun book! And very useful for teachers, especially those teaching creative writing. Lots of interesting exercises within to try. The book on the whole is well-presented, engaging and amusing. I look forward to trying some of the activities with my students!
