Given that we are living in an age when creativity will be the skill that is most in demand, this seemed a relevant read, interesting, and relevant, but did seem to be reporting much that is obvious, although it does back up statements with recent studies in psychology and neuroscience.

I feel extremely neutral about this book. It's mostly a bunch of research regurgitated randomly around the general idea of creativity, but most of it was nothing new to me. The writing wasn't particularly compelling and read more like a literature review than revealing any new truths. It's okay, but not spectacular.
