Disappointing,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Whack on the Side of the Head: How You Can Be More Creative (Paperback)
After reading the rave reviews, I expected a much better book. It's okay, but, basically, goes over the same old stuff other books do. Nothing new. It's kinda of read one you've read them all.

a healthy dose of creativity,
By Kent (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Whack on the Side of the Head: How You Can Be More Creative (Paperback)
There are some self-help books which are enjoyable to read, but may not be entirely beneficial. A Whack on the Side of the Head falls close to this. What it offers isn't really groundbreaking. Heck, I can sum it up like this: "do something different when faced with a problem." But sometimes we need to be reminded of what seems obvious because we, as society, have come to ignore the obvious. So this 150 page reassurance isn't a bad thing to look through. Like I said, it was enjoyable to read because of the way it was written. It had a lot of spelling errors, though, and the author doesn't exactly treat other's quotes right. Not to mention a plethora of pictures so wacky, they're disturbing. But for those who are struggling with ideas as of late, give it a whirl.

It opened my mind in a big way,
By Turk Kepler (Santa Fe, New Mexico) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Whack on the Side of the Head: How You Can Be More Creative (Paperback)
My thinking had become stale in the past six months, and I was unable to think of fresh approaches to some pressing work problems. I mentioned this to my sister, and she lent me her dog-earred copy of Whack. I loved the author's breezy style and practical ideas. I have since bought two more copies, one for myself and another for a friend at work. I recommend Whack as a good way to open your thinking.
