Creativity is the one universal ingredient of success. Creatives report higher job satisfaction and lead more fulfilling lives than any other class of people. And yet our school curricula focus on rote learning and test taking at the expense of creativity, problem-solving and higher-order thinking. In this book, Microsoft Distinguished Engineer James Whittaker shows you how to develop your creative mind and use it as the fulcrum of a lifestyle where creativity doesn’t just happen, it becomes the default case for everything you do in work and life. Learn to supercharge your creativity to make your work more interesting and your life more exciting. In this book lies the key to: Learning faster and retaining knowledge better. Discovering and nurturing your creative biorhythms. Becoming an expert in your field. Turning your creativity on at will. This book is based on the hugely popular course by the same title and is written by a serial creative who wants nothing more than to expand the creative class with people just like you.
