The creative spirit
This illustrated companion to the PBS "Creative Spirit" television series shows that creativity is not the exclusive domain of artists, poets, or a genius elite. The book's message is that creativity can be cultivated by anyone--by children and adults, by companies, by whole communities. Creativity is not a luxury but rather the key to improving the quality of our lives. How can you liberate the creative spirit within you and apply it to whatever you do? This book takes you inside the creative process to the realms of intuition and "flow"--where our efforts perfectly match the task at hand. It offers a series of practical exercises to strengthen your creativity and shake loose hidebound habits of thought--based upon a highly successful course taught at Stanford University. -- Adapted from jacket
