Imagine
Jonah Lehrer
A fun, engaging study of creativity. Lehrer uses innovative corporate cultures and Bob Dylan's songwriting habits to frame scientific findings about the brain and where creativity comes from. You won't find exercises to help you think more creatively in this book. Instead, you'll learn how and why creativity is stimulated by certain activities-like looking at the color blue, traveling, or daydreaming productively-and how these activities stimulate creativity in everyone, not just in 'creative' people.
