Creative Thinker's Exercise Book

This exercise book is a spin-off to The Secret of the Highly Creative Thinker: How to make connections others don’t. While this book is based on a dynamic balance of theory, technique, and exercises, the Creative Thinker’s Exercise Book is a creative workbook jam-packed with activities, challenges, and exercises designed to enhance your creativity. While the exercises are meant to be fun, exciting, and engaging, they also strengthen your ability to think creatively. The exercises in this book are built on the theory that: Highly creative people are good at seeing connections. By enhancing your ability to see connections, you can enhance your creativity.

The idea is simple. When you train your ability to make connections, you strengthen the underlying mechanism that helps you to think creatively. Seeing and making connections is a creative-thinking skill. By identifying and training this one skill deliberately—over and over again through exercises—you enhance your ability to think creatively. After this training you will find it easier to come up with fresh ideas, novel concepts, breakthrough thinking, and innovative solutions—things you will be able to draw upon, when you are faced with challenges that call for new thinking, whether that be in business or in life.

This book is for those seeking to enhance their creativity. It can be used to:
- Develop one’s creative capacity
- Train underlying mechanisms in creative thinking
- Enrich educational purposes
- Increase idea production 

Creative Thinker’s Exercise Book is for everyone eager to indulge in exercises to enhance their innate creativity by identifying connections.
