5.0 out of 5 stars Open the Doors to the Mind by Lubricating the Hinges!, 30 Jul 2008
This review is from: A Whack on the Side of the Head: How You Can Be More Creative (Paperback)
Roger von Oech deeply understands that the creative juices flow best when people are relaxed and having fun. He does this by creating a common sense book that has easy to read, and powerful exercise to help tap into the creative nature that we all have.

The book is a key element in critical thinking. It focuses on developing the left brain, right brain crossover. I found the book refreshing, fascinating and insightful.

The title says it all. The format is user friendly, the exercises are engaging and the cartoons are hilarious. The book firmly pushes anyone who reads the book out of his or her box to become a better critical thinker!

The topics are fascinating. They include: Opening mental locks, Learning how to think, Making the strange familiar, Challenging the rules, Play is frivolous, The fools and the rules and many more.

This is a great book for anyone who is ready to open doors to their mind and become more creative. It lubricates the door hinges that may have become a little rusty over time!

3.0 out of 5 stars basic information, 30 Aug 2008
I was quite disappointed with this book, hoping it would give me something other than ideas I could come up with myself.

Good for beginners but quite basic if you have a foundation knowledge of the topic.
