Sunday Review: Thinkertoys: A Handbook of Creative-Thinking Techniques by Michael Michalko

I have decided to do a dead simple book review every Sunday. Some of this is to just share what I’m reading. Rather than go with some complex rating system a book will either be a thumbs up or a thumbs down. Thumbs up means I highly recommend reading the book. A thumbs down means read something else unless you have free time on your hands. I will then do a one or two sentence at most comment on the book.
Thinkertoys: A Handbook of Creative-Thinking Techniques (2nd Edition)

Take Away: This book gives more practical brainstorming ideas than you will know what to do with. Be prepared to do mental exercises to get the most out of this book.

Thanks Derek. I’m always looking for something new to read (or more accurately listen to) so I’m looking forward to your recommendations.

Some books dont translate well to audio for various reasons, do you think this one would be good on audio or should I get it only in hard copy?

This one is 90% exercises. It would not do well as an audio book in my opinion.
