[SHARE] Summary of Books on Creative Thinking

[vinayamb25]

Problem: I know there are lots of excellent books around to hit my "creative thinking" chord and they help me big time to think out of the box which is really important in today's marketing environment. But the biggest problem is I cant seem to manage the time and dedication to read these 150+ page books and learn on a regular basis.

I am sure you can relate to my problem.

Solution What I do is try to find the gist of these books by checking their reviews on amazon, their executive summaries but often they are not quite informative and somewhat biased.
So, I find myself a solution.

which is I am going to share with you guys.

Well, I am going to share with you a list of books whose summaries I have got with me. You just need to post the name and the author(COPY -PASTE) in this thread and I will post it. - Simple.

Bcoz that way 90% of people are not gonna use it for good and it will get leeched on other wannabe blackhat forums. Although, this method is not going to stop those leechers but it would make their work a bit difficult.
