Imagine: How Creativity Works by Jonah Lehrer
5.0
Insightful. Informative. And inspiring.
This book completely changed the way I - not only - approach my work, but my creative practice in general. The lessons I learned has impacted the way I tackle tasks and challenges; while also providing insight into how I can streamline the process and put myself in a position to elicit more creative 'sparks' and moments of inspiration.
The scandal that surrounds the John Lennon quotes were serious, but were totally blown out of proportion - this book should still be in print. The extent of the damage should have been to remove those quotes, or just remove the John Lennon stuff completely.
One of the very few books I will recommend to any fellow artist and creative.
