Book Reviews of Creativity: Flow and the Psychology of Discovery and Invention

Book Review: The Science of Creativity
Summary: 5 Stars

I am passionate about creativity and Innovation.
I train companies and run public workshops.
In this role, I have read dozens of books regarding creativity (debono, michalko, buzan, etc)
This book was extremely refreshing due to its strong scientific approach. I felt like a NASA expert on the science of Creativity once I read it.

It has largely enhanced my understanding of deeper issues related to the physcology of creativity.

The down side for me is that the author does not consider ana ct to be creative unless it is recognised by others. I deeply disagree, but this was not an impedement to take imense value from the book.

Flexibility.
