Creativity Workout,
By Tami Brady "Whole Health" (Calgary, Canada) - See all my reviews (HALL OF FAME) (TOP 50 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Creativity Workout: 62 Exercises to Unlock Your Most Creative Ideas (Paperback)
What comes to mind when you think of creativity? Do you naturally associate creativity and artistic talent? Have you always assumed that creativity is something that just happens, that it can't be forced?In reality, creating ad hoc without direction or objective generally accomplishes very little. Lateral thinking, on the other hand, brings forth alternatives and possibilities that are "outside the box". This type of thinking is in fact a skill that can not only be taught but needs to be exercised regularly. Creativity Workout includes a series of exercises based upon random words. In each activity, the reader is asked to randomly choose one (or several words) from a chart in the book's appendix. A task is then set to use this word (or set of words) in a particular way. The exercises are actually rather fun and can be used purposefully to address particular issues or simply to increase the potential for lateral thinking.

Random title - Great content,

This review is from: Creativity Workout: 62 Exercises to Unlock Your Most Creative Ideas (Paperback)
This book should have been called: "Using the power of Random Words to boost your creativity", or "Random Words, Creative Thoughts". But the chances of me buying the book with such a title would have been slim, so I'm glad De Bono did not consult me on this.This book includes 62 creativity exercises that use random words to train your creative skills. The exercises can be used for self training to sharpen your creative thinking skills as well as for producing actual creative results individually or in a group. I have used some of the methods tought in the book in creativity workshops I'm conducting and I have to say the results were very impressive. People like to use random words because it really frees them and easily gets their thougths out of the box. The usual De Bono style is evident - a bit of self praise and paranoia coupled with great in-depth insights and detailed instructions. 7 of 7 people found the following review helpful

Brainstorming tool to stimulate thinking,
By WriterGirl "WriterGirl" - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Creativity Workout: 62 Exercises to Unlock Your Most Creative Ideas (Paperback)
If you need a mental workout to keep your mind stimulated, or are stymied for ideas, this book will help. It is a course on manipulating words into ideas to help with problem solving. The book shows you how to link and build on ideas. The book also shows you how to work with number mapping. In the back there are word and number tables to use during a creativity session. This book can be used for anything from writing to project management. The subject matter is not easy to master, but nothing worthwhile is. This would be a very good ice breaker for team meetings and training classes.
