Are you creative? How can you expand your creativity? I loved this book in a nerdy and practical way. There are creativity books that help inspire you and others that educate you, this is mostly the latter. It's a textbook on creativity and I was so excited when I found it while trying to learn more about creativity beyond what my favorite creatives subjectively say about it.

I read this for my Psychology Seminar on the topic of Creativity. In a class of 20 people, we discussed some of the questions for each chapter and it lead to really interesting conversations. I enjoyed the topics the author chose and as I read it on a Kindle it was great to have links to some of the vocabulary in the novel. I recommend the book to individuals who are interested in the ideas of creativity.

Good basic introduction to concerts of creativity. It's a textbook, so it's not exactly riveting, but it gives jump off points to expand research.
