Seeing Around Corners: How Creative People Think

You've heard the saying "Expect the unexpected," but have you really stopped to consider the value of such thinking? That's what Harry Bobonich stresses in Seeing Around Corners: How Creative People Think. Through an extensive selection of examples and anecdotal stories, Bobonich illustrates that a host of popular and revolutionary ideas, inventions, medical advances, and more were the result of creative thinking—often at the hands of an average person. Breaking creative thinking into seven core concepts, Bobonich not only helps you appreciate the value of innovative problem solving but also points to the possibilities of the future. By demonstrating the power of fresh thinking, he hopes to stimulate your own creativity and help you uncover the power of creative potential—power that already resides within you.
