Một cuốn sách trình bày đẹp, tổng hợp những gợi ý và ý tưởng thú vị cho những người làm sáng tạo hoặc liên quan đến sáng tạo. Cá nhân mình thấy sách không có nội dung gì đặc biệt, nhưng để thỉnh thoảng mở lướt lướt ra để nhắc nhở bản thân cái này cái kia trong hành trình thực hành sáng tạo thì cũng hữu ích đó.

[Terri Fleming]

A great resource.

Die Gestaltung ist top, aber es ist eher für Menschen in Berufen gedacht, wo Kreativität eine große Rolle spielt, statt das es um Kreativität im Allgemeinen geht.

It was okay and I ended up with a long lost of Ted videos to watch.

Mình đọc bản tiếng việt. Cho 5 sao, hơi dễ tính, vì màu in đẹp
Nội dung thì 100 mục ai thấy kết nối mục nào và apply được thì dùng mục đó thui
Chấm điểm cho sự đa dạng và màu sắc, widely applied

Great TED Talks on creativity remind us that it isn’t about waiting for inspiration. It’s about cultivating openness, play, and courage every day so that ideas can flow and flourish.

This was quite interesting and resourceful as well. These allowed me to understand and embrace the creative sides in me and think differently. They were also quite helpful by inspiring and appreciating the new ways to look at things instead of the old ways. These were able to spark new ways of thinking and seeing things in me and allowed me to explore a number of choices. These taught me that things exist in relativity instead of absoluteness and I think it was quite novel.

This is a great quick guide to seeking inspiration as a creative and each bit of advice is accompanied by two TED talks to further flesh out the thought.
