Book Description
RANDOM THOUGHTS OF A CREATIVE MIND is a collection of all of Hassel's writings that have been submitted literally since grade school to present time, including one short story delivered in a big writing class that scandalized some, left others howling with laughter, and the remainder thinking quietly as they left for home. Her take on life is unique having grown up on a farm doing heavy labor with her father on and around heavy equipment. She is quite a horsewoman, and above all, she would say, "What you see is what you get." Hassel is also a fine painter (see cover art), and a gifted amateur dancer enpointe and modern. Sue Hassel grew up on a farm in Wisconsin, attended the UW, Madison, and then went to Europe. Her mother Elenora was a homemaker (who designed and sewed clothes for friends and family). Her father, Carl was an oil trucker for 41 years, a natural horseman and very gifted and humane in handling horses and all animals. Both parents had 8th grade educations. Both of their lives exceeded their educational levels. Sue has an older sister, Beverly, former Professor of piano at UW, Oshkosh, who is the real pianist in the family. Sue considers herself the hotdog pianist. She has to have fun playing piano, i.e. the virtuoso repertoire. www.suehassel.com

How to Be a Creative Thinker
Author: Roya A Azadi
Publisher: Hardie Grant Publishing
ISBN: 1743588577
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 212
Book Description
How to Be a Creative Thinker is a map to your creative mind, the places your creative potential resides, and the allies and enemies along the way. It’s a practical guide to the science and the psychology of creativity and the conditions required for cultivating it. We think creativity is for those lucky enough to be born with it – something you either have or you don’t. But this is untrue. Creativity is more than God-given talent, and it’s more than artistic flair. It’s the ability to come up with a new idea in any area or setting. And most importantly, it can be learned by anyone. In How to Be a Creative Thinker, professional creative and strategic designer Roya Azadi teaches you techniques to encourage creative thinking and shows how you can unlock your creative potential. She reveals that technology is inhibiting our ability to daydream and explains why this headspace is so important if you want to ‘catch a live one’. You’ll learn to not fear failure by understanding that it’s actually fertile ground for creativity. Throughout the book there are interviews, quotes, explainers and activities to inspire creative thought along the way. By the end of the book, you’ll be bubbling with creative force to take out into the world and make real change. The Survive the Modern World series tackles big subjects in a fun and digestible way. The tone is frank and chatty, but the content is comprehensive. Upskill and expand your knowledge with these accessible pocket guides. 'The hardest part of being creative lies in simply deciding to do so. And, after you've done that, Roya's astonishingly useful book is a great place to begin.' Seth Godin, author of The Practice.

Creative Thinkering
Author: Michael Michalko
Publisher: New World Library
ISBN: 1608680258
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 258
Book Description
Why isn’t everyone creative? Why doesn’t education foster more ingenuity? Why is expertise often the enemy of innovation? Bestselling creativity expert Michael Michalko shows that in every ?eld of endeavor — from business and science to government, the arts, and even day-to-day life — natural creativity is limited by the prejudices of logic and the structures of accepted categories and concepts. Through step-by-step exercises, illustrated strategies, and inspiring real-world examples, he shows readers how to liberate their thinking and literally expand their imaginations by learning to synthesize dissimilar subjects, think paradoxically, and enlist the help of the subconscious mind. He also reveals the attitudes and approaches that diverse geniuses share — and anyone can emulate. Fascinating and fun, Michalko’s strategies facilitate the kind of lightbulb-moment thinking that changes lives — for the better.

Auspicious Thoughts, Propitious Mind
Author: Richard Camden
Publisher: eBook Partnership
ISBN: 1839520582
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 629
Book Description
This book is an enjoyable read possibly different to any kind of book the reader has ever experienced. It is an intriguing commentary on life that begs to be re-read, studied and retained for reference, and for others in the family to read and think about the way we live, our relationships, hopes and fears, and making decisions work, as well as asking; how is it some just seem to sail through life?' It is about why we should rein in thoughts and feelings before they take control, interfere and misdirect our lives, and about our habits and customs that betray our basic animal origins, and our primitive tribal instincts that drive us in everything, including that inborn, primordial instinct that asks, is there an after-life? For both believers and non-believers, this book offers a tantalising explanation of what is God, a precise definition of love, and why Satan does not exist. Here is down-to-earth food for the soul, a practical philosophy for contentment. It is for anyone with a yearning and enquiring mind on many matters of importance in their life, and a comfort to those who worry or are just curious to understand life, others and themselves better.
