This book surprised me.  Actually this book blew me away.  Forget whether this book accomplishes its goal--it went beyond that for me, and I think it will for most readers.  Cohen starts with definitions and the divine aspects of creativity.  "Etymology" was a word that took me back to college and that's a good thing--some of my most creative work came out of college and being open and influenced by so many different things.  That's what this book is like--every creative class I took rolled into one.  You'll realize you can put into words why you appreciate and love creating in the first place.One of the best parts about it is that it spans various mediums (writing, painting, etc.).  Change and risk are concepts I see in some of the best works of art.  Cohen expands on these in an exciting, loving manner.  With history, interesting facts, and bits of pop culture, you'll be entertained as much as you will be inspired and motivated.If you have writer's block or haven't painted sine college or want to leave about divergent and convergent thinking, read this!  There are tons of exercises and ideas to get you going.  Ever heard of a look book?  That's one (out of dozens) I'm looking forward to trying out for myself.
