This was a great read that went over, in exhaustive detail, how the imaginative mind works and segues into topics like creative companies and innovators. I would recommend this book to anyone experiencing creative burnout. (I believe it's out of print, I got my copy at the local library.)

Containing bursts of insight from this book. High interactivity with others (especially those very different than you) predictably leads to new ideas. I'll have to make copious notes afterward. 😀

Brilliant book about creativity using research to unlock the secrets of genius. I love the tips that I can apply immediately to my own creative pursuits.
