Fun and mind-freeing
I am really enjoying this book. I'm not working through the exercises religiously, just picking them more or less at random when I have a few spare minutes or feel that my brain is stagnating.
I like to do creative writing so the exercises which generate story ideas are particularly good for me... but I also like the persuasion exercises too...

62 ways to innovate - okay
The book does seem quite interesting though you really have to commit to doing the exercises regularly to get the good out of them. I haven't really had enough spare time so not sure how many ideas I've missed out on..

Fun and mind-freeing, 3 Jun 2009
I am really enjoying this book. I'm not working through the exercises religiously, just picking them more or less at random when I have a few spare minutes or feel that my brain is stagnating.
I like to do creative writing so the exercises which generate story ideas are particularly good for me... but I also like the persuasion exercises too.
Using random words and 'forcing' yourself to come up with links or connections or relationships to other concepts, really does jolt you awake and oblige you to think properly. There's no prize for winning so there's no point in cheating: lazy thinking is not as satisfying in these games! When you really concentrate and try to come up with good responses to the little challenges, I've found that you feel clear-headed for the rest of the day.
I recommend this book as a kind of mental pick-me-up for anyone whose job/hobby/life has left them feeling a bit stuck in a rut with their thinking.

A must for creative people, 14 April 2009
I must admit to having a liking for the way De Bono writes. He makes things so clear that I absorb his concepts easily. If only I could apply them as effectively, I would be more than happy.
