Your Creative Brain

The latest in brain-anatomy has moved from academic journals into the realm of the practical. Your Creative Brain is a creativity fitness-program par excellence, and Shelly Carson is your coach. "Coach" Carson has artfully crafted a program of education and exercises for the novice and expert alike. Chapters correspond to seven stages of the creative process, which--you may be surprised to know--include both deliberate and spontaneous stages. Carson addresses the whole process of creativity, wherein lies one of the strengths of this book.

As creative individuals we all have our strengths, but do we also know our weaknesses? Like a good coach should, Carson provides excellent tools for evaluating our creative abilities. She explains what the seven critical "moves" are, why they are important, and proper technique. Then, she offers a broad spectrum of very practical, short exercises for self-assessment and ongoing development. This is not a recipe-book, but a manual you can return to again and again to increase your self-understanding, sculpt your problem-solving abilities, and fine-tune your creative process.
