‘Groundbreaking new book!’- The Bedford Record Review
‘The more hands we can get Creativity for Everybody into – the better – to help fan the flames of the movement to a more enlightened, creative, brave way of being human.’ – Peter H. Reynolds, Author of The Dot
Creativity for Everybody provides a fast overview so that anyone can take hold of their creative thinking and support the creativity of others. In business, education, and our personal lives, we achieve innovation and progress through creative thinking. This innovative new book sets the stage for growth, and empowers you and those around you to use fresh thinking and problem solving at home, at school, and at work. Each page is backed by research which is detailed in the ‘Dig Deeper’ section, and includes resources for further exploration.
Creativity for Everybody combines the talents of a writer-poet-educator and a designer-artist-simplifier into a fun, quick read on the science of creativity. Its varied design elements (visual collages, photographs, line drawings, graphic art) and creative components (simple prose, poetry, sidelines, and delightful endnotes) invite you into an engaging reading experience.
