Book Reviews of Thinkertoys: A Handbook of Creative-Thinking Techniques (2nd Edition)
Book Review: This is a treasure chest of business and creative ideas.
Summary: 5 Stars
The dozens and dozens of creative methods detailed in this book are new and excellent tools for any business person. And even for non-business types. Michael goes through ways to change your view of a problem, dozens of idea generating methods, sorting and weeding techniques, and group and individual methods. The number and quality of surprising, startling, practical, usable, and results-generating ideas was a shock. And despite the 335 pages, it is not over written, as many large books are. This is a tight, easy reading, tool chest for innovation. And this collection of "Thinkertoys" will be part of your intellectual and problem-solving arsenal for years. As long as there are problems to solve, fun to have, and profits to make (through customers to serve) this book will be a heavenly gift and asset to anyone who reads and uses it.
