Book Reviews of Think Naked: Childlike Brilliance in the Rough Adult World

Book Review: Charge your batteries.
Summary: 5 Stars

This books joins my six-foot shelf of books related to creativity, design, communication and the creative process. I've read books by Johnson, de Bono, Norman, Jakob Nielsen, Buckminster Fuller, Tufte, Christopher Alexander and Papenek. Incidentally, the other morning my friend came into the cafe with it under his arm, punctuated by an ornate, tasseled bookmark. I thought he was carrying his missal with him. It gave me a hint as to just how enmeshed he was in his reading.

We could all use a daily brain wedgie to remind us that we have the potential to use our brains and skills in ways that are ordinarily passed by because they are "too far out" or have some kind of taboo associated with them. I was reminded of an essay I wrote many years ago, entitled, "Put Grandmother in the Crib" - based on Edward de Bono's solution to the problem of the baby inconveniencing grandma, as she knitted and napped. It was to put the baby on the carpet and grandmother in the crib.

As a retiree and volunteer to local groups, I've gone one step further and have made more of an effort to surround myself with smart people and SMEs (subject matter experts). If you let yourself be dumbed down by the popular press and popular culture, your inner child will be stifled and inhibited. Don't let it happen to you. Read Think Naked and recharge your batteries and feel the fire that burns inside.
