How many times have you asked yourself, "Why didn't I think of that?" Each of us is capable of the kind of breakthrough thinking that generates new ideas, creative solutions, and sustained success, yet that question nags at us so often. The answer lies in better understanding how our minds work to harness the power of clear and creative thinking. This book will show you the way to break out of the rut of a routine approach, overcome obstacles in problem solving, and find your way to great ideas.
