This is such a great book on creativity and really provides a useful perspective on how to view it. I think about it often and it has helped my relationship with creativity so much and is a resource that I refer back to regularly when I am feeling a bit stagnant and need a boost (although it did instil a real fear that if I don't use an idea that comes to me then it will go to someone else and I will always regret not doing anything with it)
