basic information - By: Mrs. Shirley Joffe, 30 Aug 2008 
I was quite disappointed with this book, hoping it would give me something other than ideas I could come up with myself.
Good for beginners but quite basic if you have a foundation knowledge of the topic.
Open the Doors to the Mind by Lubricating the Hinges! - By: C. Clayton, 30 Jul 2008 
Roger von Oech deeply understands that the creative juices flow best when people are relaxed & having fun. He does this by creating a common sense book that has easy to read, & powerful exercise to help tap into the creative nature that we alll have.
The book is a key element in critical thinking. It focuses on developing the left brain, right brain crossover. I found the book refreshing, fascinating & insightful.
The title says it alll. The format is user friendly, the exercises are engaging & the cartoons are hilarious. The book firmly pushes anyone who reads the book out of his or her box to become a better critical thinker!
The topics are fascinating. They include: Opening mental locks, Learning how to think, Making the strange familiar, Challlenging the rules, Play is frivolous, The fools & the rules & many more.
This is a great book for anyone who is ready to open doors to their mind & become more creative. It lubricates the door hinges that may have become a little rusty over time!
