Creativity Snacks: Research-Backed Ways to Have Better Ideas on Demand, One Bite-Sized Snack at a Time (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798183581133)

Creativity is a process you can run on purpose, far more than a personality you either have or lack. You don't need the 400-page creativity tome to get started. You need snacks.

Each snack is one move you can use today: load a problem and then deliberately walk away so incubation can work, narrow the brief instead of staring at a blank page, force distant connections, run a real divergent pass before you judge, and tell the genuinely useful idea from the merely novel one. There's even a snack on why the famous "brainstorm in a group" advice backfires more often than you've been told.

This is idea generation and creative problem-solving, in bite-sized pieces. Read one a day, or grab the one that fits what you're stuck on right now. Use it, then get back to making.
