Product Description

Product Description

"Aha! is a joyful, upbeat survey of ideas for enhancing creativity. Jordan Ayan's enthusiasm is hard to resist, and every reader will find personally suitable strategies. Aha! is an inspiring yet practical guidebook for freeing the creative spirit."
--Betty Edwards, author of Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain

"A delightful romp through the rich and complicated field of creativity. Ayan's Aha! is bound to make the reader's thinking more interesting and original."
--Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, ph.d., author of Flow: the Psychology of Optimal Experience

"The future belongs to those who create it. Jordan Ayan's exceptional book will show you how to create yours by providing the keys to unlock your great ideas."
--Daniel Burrus, author of Technotrends and a leading technology forecaster

Behind every successful venture, there's a great idea. If you haven't found your great idea yet, or if you've always thought you "just weren't the creative type,"  Jordan Ayan's accessible and entertaining book will give you the confidence to listen to your own creative spirit and to find the breakthrough you've been waiting for. Based on the notion that creativity is a life skill that must be continually cultivated, Ayan offers ten strategies for finding and harnessing inspiration--wherever and whenever it occurs. His mini workshops will show you how travel, reading, the arts, new technology, journaling, and more can form the basic building blocks of a more creative and rewarding life.

Roger von Oech, Author of A Whack on the Side of the Head says:
"Jordan Ayan -- the 'Wizard of Aha's' -- has presented us with a treasure trove of techniques to stimulate our creative juices. A lot fun!"

Format:Paperback
For me, the first 50 pages were the most useful part of this book, where Jordan Ayan reminds us of the barriers we put in the way of creativity and the damage done by adulthood. The sections on the four stage process of creativity, the seven forms of intelligence and comfort zones are brilliant.

Indeed as I glance back through my volume I find the first fifty or so pages covered with highlighter of varying colours, notes and dog eared pages.

This is less apparent once the books gets into the actual strategies, which basically revolve around the theme of opening yourself to new experiences and knowledge in order to live a creative lifestyle.

A very useful introduction to Creativity then with some good ideas about becoming more generally creative and definitely worth buying. If you are looking for specific creative thinking tools though, look at some of Tony Buzan's excellent work or that of Edward de Bono as well.

Good book 10 July 1999
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
A good inspirational book for those who need inspiration. Well-written and informative but lacks the specific tools and techniques one needs to become more creative.
