5.0 out of 5 stars Every Creative Thinker Should Read This Classic, 24 May 2002
By A Customer
Thinkertoys expands your imaginative capacities with easy-to-use techniques you can employ
again-and-again in all your creative endeavors. A newer book well worth reading is Why Didn't I
Think of That? - Think the Unthinkable and Achieve Creative Greatness. These two books together
cover the full spectrum of useful creative thinking skills every serious thinker must possess. The
skills are learned, not inborn. The very best approach to fully developing the skills in yourself is to read about them and practice them with books such as Thinkertoys and Why Didn?t I Think of
That?

5.0 out of 5 stars It's everything advertised to be., 20 Jun 1999
By A Customer
This book is everything it's advertised to be. It's a creative thinking workshop in a book. I can't imagine how the author could have written a better or more useful book on creativity in business. Wonderful job, Michael!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Book on Creativity Ever Written!, 15 April 1999
By A Customer
Do yourself a favor: buy this book for yourself, your friends, and your family. Then if you get the chance, go to one of Mr. Michalko's speaking engagements! You will be miles ahead of the pack in your creative thinking skills! Then go buy a puzzle book by Terry Stickels called "Mind-Bending Puzzles - Volume 2 [ with a forward by Michalko}... then you'll be on your way to being a guru in both creative and critical thinking skills!!!!
