This is the most enlightening book about creativity that I have ever encountered. Many of the concepts will ring true right away. Some require thinking about … good, pleasant thinking. Reading this book is like experiencing lots of 'light bulb' moments. I'm reading it slowly as I don't want it to end.
So many inspired short stories about fantastic artists! l love the headline of page 39"Success is very often down to plan B"
I enjoyed this book tremendously . I learned few important things that I should have known for a. Long time . Really great book . Might re read it one more time .
