Training Techniques of Creative Problem Solving: Trainers Manual - Paperback

by R. G. Chaudhari (Author)

You are creative. No doubt about it. But you are not aware of it. Your creative potentials are dormant, waiting to be aroused from deep slumber.

This book aims just at that objective by answering an array of questions like:

What is creativity? Why is it dormant? How to unlock it?

How do we define a problem? How to find a useful solution to a problem? And so on.

All that it requires to answer such questions is: DESIRE and WILL. We have a much greater thinking capacity than we ever use. While unfolding this truth, this book reveals the strategies to remove roadblocks and negativity that stunts the growth of the imaginative faculty. After getting the feel of release, discussions lead to ways and means of developing creativity, i.e. unique ability to solve problems in an innovative way.

Efforts are also made to convince the readers that creativity can be applied each day to many aspects of our everyday life by following the leads.

If you desire to ignite the latent spark in your mind, and cherish to be creative, this book is for you.
