Creative thinking manual
Very thought provoking book because it tells you how.
Goes through processes to generate ideas in a structured reproducible way. I really enjoyed the technique and then real world applications.

this book feels decisive to me.
yes this book may help people be more creative but from almost the very opening, it has a thing like, 'your business attitude determines your creativity' (though I may be paraphrasing) and the way it uses 'your' feels like the reader doesn't have the space to think and must either accept his point of view or stop every five munites to decode. (well that's my understanding anyway)
in the end, I think there are much better books to use to develop your creativity.
