Unlocking Your Creative Power: How to Use Your Imagination to Brighten Life, to Get Ahead

by Alex F. Osborn

Alex Osborn wrote the following:

"Emotional drive is self-starting and largely automatic, whether based on hunger, fear, love, or ambition. "

"For all of us, a good rule is always to encourage ideas―to encourage speaking up as well as thinking up."

"Whatever creative success I gained was due to my belief that creative power can be stepped up by effort, and that there are ways in which we can guide our creative thinking. "

"If we set aside a defined period for creative thinking we can best lure the muse."

"With enough creative effort, each of us could find the ideas that would smooth out rocky roads!"

Imagination is probably the key to everything,to life, to money and most certainly a new future we never envision. Creativity is a new combination of existing ideas.I begin my research on imagination and this book tells me a lot about the creative success, creative idea and application of imaginative muscle for optimal results.

Seems to be a shortened version of a larger book. While it has many great ideas and touches on many stories of creative thinkers, the book quickly flits from topic to topic often without concluding the first. Perhaps some of the stories used to be better known and wouldn't have needed more explanation, but now many are now left as passing references to inventions that have faded into obscurity.
