Praise For Born Creative
Harry Hoover has produced a book well worth the read if you are looking for tools to improve your personal or group’s creative process. He correctly insists that if we are to expand our inventive horizons, we must first believe in ourselves and in our own potential for creativity. His writing style is practical, thankfully lacking in the kind of psycho-babble often associated with other books on the subject. Hoover’s straight forward ideas combined with inspiring illustrations, come from a writer who has obviously mastered personal creativity through years of thinking and then creating. I wholeheartedly recommend the book. As the title suggests, free your mind – free yourself.

Quick, deceptively simple ways to boost your creativity. I’ve taught classes and offered workshops for years on developing the creative process — and this book offers helpful techniques in an effective, do-it-yourself format. You have the potential to be creative — we all do. The only question is whether you’ve developed your ability. Here are plenty of exercises, supported by solid research, to help you make the most of your creative ability. Being able to spot issues, solve problems, encourage others — all those are competitive advantages in any setting. This book offers practical application rather than mere theory — something you can pick up and start using.

What a great resource to help jumpstart anyone’s creativity! First Harry Hoover debunks the idea that only some people are born creative. He makes the case that we all are and then provides a toolbox full of ideas to spur us on. A fun quick read, this book is one I will refer to often. I loved his take on brainstorming. As someone who has sat through far too many brainstorming sessions, I absolutely agree that it’s an exercise for one. Another approach he suggests, which was new to me, is having someone write three ideas on paper and passing it
