This was not exactly what I was expecting, but I thoroughly enjoyed it.  The primary focus of the text is what I would call the "psychology of creativity" - how the creative mind works, what differentiates creative thinking from more linear thinking biologically, etc.  One might expect that such a text would be dry and boring, but the author's writing style made it a delightful read.  The entirety of the message is approached with a tongue-in-cheek sense of humor that makes it fun.There is encouragement here to explore divergent, rather than merely convergent, thinking - and that anyone can do so.  However, don't expect "exercises" or anything of that nature to walk you through the process.The writing was technically imperfect in a few places, which might annoy the perfectionist type who's inclined to feel he needs a book like this.  It was just a few brief spots, though, and easily overlooked in the context of the book as a whole.
