Description
Supported by the latest neuroscience, The Secret of the Highly Creative Thinker gives you hands-on advice on how to enhance your own creativity. You will find it an inspiring combination of theory, techniques, anecdotes, and exercises to help you access better ideas and bigger breakthroughs.
People who are good at having ideas are good at seeing connections. Could teaching people to see connections be a way to help them be more creative? Over the years, there's been a need for a book on creativity that complements the teaching of the creative process and tools, providing you with a practical approach to enhancing your innate ability to think creatively.

It provides the chance to share 'the secret' of highly creative people with a much wider audience. This is your chance to gain the knowledge, techniques, and training needed to boost your innate creativity and lead the way to fun, fulfilment, invention, innovation, and change.
It is a unique book that combines a very hands-on and practical approach with a solid scholarly foundation.

- Insights into how highly creative people think
- The latest findings in neuroscience on connection making
- Training to help you make connections others don't
