Thinkertoys expands your imaginative capacities with easy-to-use techniques you can
employ again-and-again in all your creative endeavors. A newer book well worth reading is
Why Didn't I Think of That? - Think the Unthinkable and Achieve Creative Greatness. These
two books together cover the full spectrum of useful creative thinking skills every
serious thinker must possess. The skills are learned, not inborn. The very best approach
to fully developing the skills in yourself is to read about them and practice them with
books such as Thinkertoys and Why Didn?t I Think of That?
Reviewer: A reader
Do yourself a favor: buy this book for yourself, your friends, and your family.
Then if you get the chance, go to one of Mr. Michalko's speaking engagements! You will be
miles ahead of the pack in your creative thinking skills! Then go buy a puzzle book by
Terry Stickels called "Mind-Bending Puzzles - Volume 2 [ with a forward by
Michalko}... then you'll be on your way to being a guru in both creative and critical
thinking skills!!!!
It's rare to find a truly practical book, full of exercises to stimulate creative
thinking and problem solving. Having used this book to lead small groups in
problem-solving, and brainstorm techniques, I can say with confidence the exercises are
intriguing, fun and effective. A great book.
