A really really good book on creativity !

I've just read half of Alf Rehns book "Dangerous Ideas". The book is amazing.
It really makes you stop for a while and think about the whole creativity process, is everything you have heard and read about creativity just bulls*it?

Alf Rehn suggests that creativity shouldn't be fun, it should be hard and exhausting. Creativity isn't something that just pop ups from the air, it's something you actually have to practise. Think for example about stories of people living under dictatorships or people who have been in prison, the stories are full of creative ways of doing forbidden things. Forced creativity is effective.

I will come up with a new post when I'm done with the book.

You can get the book from the Turku City Library.
