SYNOPSIS: The Art of Creative Thinking was written to teach people how to nurture, develop, and exercise their creative abilities. It provides tools that enable the reader to recognize opportunities and develop fresh insights into everyday on-the-job problems and challenges. As William James observed, "In the dim background of the mind we know what we ought to be doing, but somehow we cannot start." This book presents creative processes and techniques that demonstrate many starting points and guideposts to creativity. The book integrates the systematic approach of engineering, the creative strategies of psychology, and the here-and-now practicality of business. It thus will be of value to students and professionals in business, engineering, architecture, psychology, technology, and government and to all others who want to use their minds in more creative ways. Robert W. Olson has a psychology practice in Mission Viejo, California, and teaches psychology at Saddlebrook College. He has been a consultant for General Electric, the Orange County Department of Mental Health, and the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission, as well as a number of other organizations. His educational background includes a Ph.D. degree in human behavior and M.A. degrees in mechanical and nuclear engineering. Kevin Fagan, who collaborated on the illustrations, recently, at the age of twenty-two, became the youngest syndicated cartoonist in the country. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Kevin Fagan (illustrator).
