My Favourite book on creativity

I'm very interested in the studies on Creativity and throughout the years I've read as much as I could on this topic. Throughout my years of reading, there were a lot of books that I've wasted money on. Most of these books have a tendency of talking too much about case studies that you and I can easily find on the web or writings that doesn't include a concrete way for you to embark on your quest for becoming a creative person.

A look into my Kindle library these include:

1. Imagine: How Creativity Works by John Lehrer
2. Cracking Creativity by Michael Michalko
3. Lateral Thinking by Edward De Bono
4. Your Creative Brain by Shelley Carson
5. Creativity by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
6. Disciplined Dreaming by Josh Linkner

Out of the 6 books, the only book that I would recommend is Disciplined Dreaming: A Proven System to Drive Breakthrough Creativity (Amazon affiliate link) His book helps you to be creative by giving you processes that improves you or your team's creativity. All of these processes was used by the author in his company ePrize to help him innovate keep his company on it's toes. These process includes:

1. Asking the three magic questions
2. Developing the five skills of master innovators
3. Looking through different lens
4. Putting patterns to use

There are more in the book but I'll just list these 4 as examples.

For a brief description, the "Looking through a different lens" process allows you to find new perspectives for a problem.This can be achieved by looking at a problem with different roles. i.e. Student, Musician, Architect or a Villain. There's more in the chapter so go have a look at the book.

I really highly recommend this book to whoever wants a step 1 - 10 guide on improving your creativity. If you have any other book to recommend please feel free to let me know in the comments.
