Product Description

Famed for making dreams come true, the Disney Imagineers are world renowned for their incomparable creativity and their ability to turn fanciful ideas into reality. How do they do this? By approaching all projects, problems, and questions with the knowledge that they will undoubtedly accomplish the task set before them. Now for the first time, the Imagineers offer a detailed look at their principles and processes that allow Disney to do what it does so well. Beyond paper and canvas, beyond wood, steel, and concrete, there is magic at the heart of every Imagineering project. In The Imagineering Way, the Imagineers reveal the secrets to creating an environment that fosters explosive creativity, with clear examples of how to adapt the most creative thinking in the world to your home and work life. The difference between the Imagineers and the rest of the world is that the Imagineers assume they can do what they dream.

5.0 out of 5 stars It made me weep..., Feb 25 2004

Geoffrey Clements (Ayer, MA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Imagineering Way: Ideas to Ignite Your Creativity (Hardcover)

This book made me weep. It isn't fair that there is a place to work like this. I spend my days having my ideas ridiculed.

The book is enjoyable and inspiring. Recommended. Wish more companies treated their employees like Disney does their Imagineers.

5.0 out of 5 stars A short fun delightful tease into Disney's secret world, Nov 16 2003

A. Reza Ruyan (Bahrain) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Imagineering Way: Ideas to Ignite Your Creativity (Hardcover)

I am still waiting a detailed history book about the Disney Imaginers
Or maybe a book about how they think.

I was hopping that this book was it, but it wasn't.

This book is a collection of essays, thoughts, and fun tid-bits about the idea
Of imagineering written by the Imaginers themselves.

Its fun to read and give a teaser glimpse into Disney's best keep secret.

3.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining, But Could Use More Substance, Aug 21 2003

bob68 (Dayton, OH United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Imagineering Way: Ideas to Ignite Your Creativity (Hardcover)

This book is basically a collection of short essays on creativity written by Imagineers. It does contain some gems (and a few entertaining stories), but doesn't give away any real Imagineering secrets. And the illustrations are cute. My bottom line is it comes across as a multi-part pep talk.
