Summary

Discover how to activate your creative mind.

What does it mean to be limited to inside the box, as opposed to being outside?

The key, according to experts on the subject, is to apply creative thinking to your daily life. Perhaps up until this time, you've never really thought yourself a creative person. Many of us go through life thinking that the only people capable of creative thought are artists, writers, and others who have been trained to apply this thought process in specific and sporadic circumstances. The truth of the matter is that every single one of us is capable of this type of thought. We've just allowed it to lie fallow, unused. When anything lies unused for so long, it may be difficult to stimulate it back to life.

This book can help you seek out answers to your everyday problems easier. You don't need to be an artist, a business executive, or even a physicist or scientist to employ this immensely insightful thought process.

Learn the two types of thinking that will improve your problem solving skill.

You'll discover and learn how to implement the two types of thinking skill that you should be using everyday: critical and lateral - or out of the box thinking.

Far too often, we listen to the constraints of the outside world, the social standards of society, and fail to use all of our resources to change even the smallest of circumstances in our lives. Now is the time to tackle problems in your life, from lack of space to starting a new career on a small budget or even relative-ship problems.

What this book proposes at surface level may not appear to make an impact on your life. As you listen, though, you'll begin to understand how changing the way you view your circumstances can change how you approach all problems in your everyday life.

valuable book

We should recognize that our thinking is only as good as our ability to continually challenge and question. Better thinking is dependent on how open we are to new ideas, how evidence-based our decision-making can be, how capable we remain to get things done."

To a healthy lifestyle.

The illustrative examples led me to thinking. I have experienced many times the negative impact on being trapped with my negative emotions. Cheers to a healthy adaptation.

neat!

The author says it right that we should not limit our thinking to the inside of the box full of clattered ideas and much limited creativity. And I came across several tips that can help us go out of our comfort zone. This one's neat.

good points but monotone voice was a hard listen

I enjoyed some of the points made. no doubt they will be useful in thinking differently. however it was a tough listen. unfortunately the voice reading this book was monotone and pretty boring. at points an uncomfortable listen due to this.

Achieve financial Independence

it's a practical guide for valuing your time, your life, your money, and your dreams. It’s caused me to put a much higher value on my time than I had previously and to see hidden costs in things. This book is relevant and also timeless.

So good!

I am fascinated by the way the author thinks; to apply creative and lateral thinking. I am applying it now to the way I handle my problems. It’s not easy but it’s doable. Thanks a bunch!

This is a convincing one.

My! The author's view about enclosing our thinking to expand it beyond the inside is a revolutionary one. Let's not contained ourselves but instead widen it so that our life will be an easy one. Believe me, it may take lots of effort in our part, but it’ll all be worth it.
