    …(http://www.amazon.com/Whack-Side-Head-More-Creative/dp/04464...). It is the book to read on creativity, along with his other book "A Kick in the Seat of the Pants" His card decks (Creative Whack Pack, Innovative Whack Pack and Ancient Whacks of Heraclitus) are also very useful for breaking bad habits, generating ideas, divergent thinking etc. somewhat like Brian Eno's Oblique Strategies cards,which I recommend (http://www.rtqe.net/ObliqueStrategies/)…

    I've enjoyed Innovative Whackpack and the series [0]. While I can't say it has given me any "breakthroughs", it is a fun exercise to do when you are otherwise stressed out :) [0] https://www.amazon.com/Innovative-Whack-Pack-Roger-Oech/dp/1...
