Download or read book Overcome Any Obstacle to Creativity written by Tony McCaffrey and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2018-03-15 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The overall purpose of the book is to present (1) the best science on creativity and innovation in the most practical way possible and (2) a new way of teaching called the Nonsense Method, which relies on humans’ incredible ability to create sense out of apparent nonsense and have fun while doing it. The central theory of the book, the Obscure Features Hypothesis for Innovation (OFH), is the first approach to innovation that yields effective counter techniques to all known cognitive obstacles to innovation. The OFH states that any creative solution is built upon at least one commonly overlooked (i.e., obscure) or new feature of the problem. Each chapter ends with puzzles that relate to the cognitive obstacle and counter technique discussed in the chapter. Two hints and a solution for each puzzle are given at the book’s end. The Nonsense Method of Teaching focuses upon universal puzzles that can be adapted to any subject. These universal puzzles situate vocabulary words and ideas from any subject matter in situations that need to be connected and thus made sense of.

Book excerpt: This comprehensive introduction to the I Ching explains how to unlock the secrets of this ancient form of divination. The ancient Chinese formalized nature's shapes and forms into the I Ching, or Book of Changes, which is thought to be the oldest system of divination in the world. In the pages of the I Ching, we find sixty-four types of changes covering all of life’s transitions and laid out in symbol form as hexagrams and trigrams. This work explains how to follow a simple system of throwing coins to discern the appropriate symbols, then use the text and commentary and our own intuition to guide us towards certain action or knowledge.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: * 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐠𝐧𝐢𝐳𝐞𝐝 - 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐢𝐟𝐭 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐢𝐬 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐣𝐨𝐲, 𝐬𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐝𝐚𝐲. What if you knew how to create joy in any moment while being present in your life? 𝗝𝗼𝘆 𝗢𝗳 𝗕𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭: 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐓𝐨 𝐁𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐅𝐞𝐞𝐥 𝐉𝐨𝐲 𝐈𝐧 𝐋𝐢𝐟𝐞, is a book that explores what presence and joy are to each person in their lives. The book discusses the essential elements required to experience joy and be in presence in each life moment. Processing and understanding emotions is an important topic theme discussed which reveals the connection between joy and presence. Kristin presents "living in presence" in a way that invites curiosity to discover what the vision looks like for each individual and what is getting in the way from experiencing it. The reader can expect to be guided through thought provoking questions and resources that assist them with accessing their own inner wisdom to make living in joy and presence possible. In his latest book, Kristin Larsen shares, "writing the book was always about creating a deep connection to self and others. I wanted to provide a tool of awakening, reflection and resources that help people discover new choices by seeing other perspectives, and to find inner peace through the daily habit of presence." The book encourages taking the journey within self to open the heart to connection of authentic acceptance and expression. "Joy resides fully embracing the present moment whatever it may contain - with appreciation and curiosity." Larsen shares this thought with an important question,, "Appreciating the joy in life isn’t always easy. During moments of hardship, challenges, and setbacks, joy seems even less a part of our lives. Yet, deep inside we know that even during difficult times, joy is still within and around us. So why can we often not access it?" His intention is for the book to answer the question and give the reader the tools to access joy whenever they want, despite circumstance or situations. May this book offer you a way to create a vision of what presence and joy feels like in your life.

This book was released on 2011-06-02 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thomas Edison famously said that genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration. Every day, new solutions, revolutionary cures, and artistic breakthroughs are conceived and squandered by smart people. Along with the gift of creativity come the obstacles to making ideas happen: lack of organisation, lack of accountability and a lack of community support.Scott Belsky has interviewed hundreds of the most productive creative people and teams in the world, revealing a common trait: a carefully trained capacity for ideas execution. Implementing your ideas is a skill that can be taught, and Belsky distils the core principles in this book.While many of us obsess about discovering great new ideas, Belsky shows why it is better to develop the capacity to make ideas happen - using old-fashioned passion and perspiration. Making Ideas Happen reveals the practical yet counterintuitive techniques of "serial creatives" - those few who make their visions a reality.
