Summary:
Combining cutting-edge neurological research with the age-old mystery of how and when inspiration strikes, Jonah Lehrers Imagine: How Creativity Works is a fun, engaging study of creativity. Lehrer uses case studies like 3Ms and Pixars innovative corporate cultures and Bob Dylans songwriting habits to frame scientific findings about the brain and where creativity comes from. You wont find exercises to help you think more creatively or ways to avoid creative blocks in this book. Instead, youll learn how and why creativity is stimulated by certain activitieslike looking at the color blue, traveling, or daydreaming productivelyand how these activities stimulate creativity in everyone, not just in creative people. Lehrers focus is as wide and fascinating as his topic itself and theres something to engage every reader, no matter where you rate yourself on the creativity spectrum.
