Creativity is a highly sought-after skill in almost every profession. More companies are looking for innovative people to lead their teams and organizations. Today, creative executives are in high demand. Unfortunately, many people have determined that they lack creativity ability. This viewpoint prevents many from obtaining many of today’s top career positions.
One of the greatest misconceptions about creativity is that it is an ability that is only reserved for a select group of people. The truth is that creativity is a gift that has been imparted into every person, from the moment of creation. Children naturally display a high level of creative ability. However, as we grow older the innovative characteristics that we had as children seem to dissolve.

I was going to say really good things about this book until I read the last chapters, where god was presented over and over as some idiotic source of creativity. Give it a break already. "God" is the death of creativity. Can't think of anything? Thank/blame god. Can't feel feelings of grief, let's hear it for god as the reason for anything. What a cop out.
Book started out good but went into drivel. The preponderance of some mythical sky father as the source of creativity is so creativity disingenuous it is silly.
