Response to Chapter 5

I found this chapter very interesting. Especially the section about seven characteristics of creative thinking. One of the characteristics was having a wide range of interests. I have always thought this of myself as a creative person. I have a very wide range of interests and so I feel that when I have to get my creative juices flowing to brainstorm, I can usually pull something from one of my many interests.

It's funny, because a lot of the time, creative minds are bouncing all over the place and often I think that there is no method whatsoever to creative thinking and to cultivating creative ideas, but this book (this chapter in particular, reminds me that there are organized ways of being creative and there usually is a method to doing so.
