Synopsis

Just about every book on creativity is bullshit.  Filled with lofty theoretics and complexity about why you should be creative, they lack sound, practical tools about how to become more creative.
 
That’s where this book comes in.
 
The Creator Mindset is designed to bring you simple, sound, and practical tools to awaken your creativity at work―even if you don’t think you are creative.  Not fluff or theories. No bullshit or fillers. Bashan draws on a lifetime of success in business to give you real actionable tools that you can use to become more creative.  And each chapter brims with businesslike action items on how to make creativity happen at work.
 
Written in plain language with real-world examples, chapters include:

• Creativity for non-creative people
• Training your mind to think in a creative way
• When nothing else works―creativity will
• The virtues of listening―and the value of making mistakes

Meant to be used as a manual which you can draw upon at the office, business, or in your career, The Creator Mindset is all about teaching you how to awaken your long lost creativity in order to see the world as it can be, not as it is.

"In business and in life, creativity is too important to be left to "the creatives." Nir Bashan's engaging and instructive book explains the attributes, habits, skills, and techniques that all of us can use to bring out our "inner creative."
