This past week I started reading Edward de Bono’s book, Serious Creativity. I’ve mentioned it a few times in my blog articles this week. It’s been a while since I read a book the whole way through. I think reading online has given me a very short attention span. The good news is, this is an excellent book, I had no problem reading it. I highly recommend it, not just for designers.
