author of Brain Storm: Unleashing Your Creative Self"Everybody has
a hidden genius, and this book is a way to find it."

be creative may seem counterintuitive to the very practice of
creativity itself. But this book proves that the opposite is true:
Eckert's visual and verbal prompts are lively, unexpected, and
inspiring, offering a fascinating prismatic lens on what it means
to seek -- and find -- the essence of a new idea."

with outstanding visuals, creating a manual for creativity as
captivating as it is beautiful."

Management "This book provides the inspirational support you need
to stay motivated."

layered with graphic illustrations, photographs, and stories that
encourage and embolden creative expression."
