I like nudge theory, but honestly didn't find anything that really resonated with me in this book. A better title for this book might have been "The creative nudge - for neurotypical thinkers wishing to break the mould of their education"
This book certainly isn't for neuro spicy people, and a lot of the prompts would actually be harmful for an ADHD mind.
That said, I loved the graphic layout, the way that there were action steps at each chapter end. Although some examples given felt a little at cross purposes at points, but if you were to dip into a chapter a week and complete the homework tasks that week, I think you would get the most benefit from it.

This was a great, quick read, all about the habits that we do unconsciously that create barriers to creativity. This book has 9 chapters with a brief science-y part at the start of each part and then 6-7 practical creative nudges that you can implement into your daily life to break those habits and bring yourself back to a place of creativity. Loved this book - it’s quick, sharp, hard-hitting, and practical.

Met Kevin Chesters himself last week, incredible speaker! Very worthwhile look into how to become more creative, resilient and put yourself into the prime position to achieve more.

This is a fabulous little book of psychological wisdom and nudges on the pyschology of creativity. I loved it. Highly recommended.
