From the Publisher:

There are many `how to' books about career change and job search. They are good at getting you organized and giving you good advice on job search.

This book aims to do something different. Its approach is to look at the way that people generate brilliant ideas and new ways of solving problems or designing products, and it then applies that breakthrough thinking to you and your career, the way you work and the way you find work. It challenges your perceived limitations and helps you to discover your strengths. Finally, it provides practical advice about making your chosen future happen.

Quite simply, the aim is to help you to make connections between your natural creativity and the way you plan your life's work.
