THIS BOOK has become essential reading for anyone-whether in marketing, advertising, sales, finance, or the pure artist-who is seriously interested in the creative business of generating good ideas. It is a concise, clear, but above all practical book, and all those willing to put forth the mental energy to read, understand, and-most importantly-implement its instructions will be richly rewarded. I hope you'll find this to be an amazing gem and another appropriate inclusion in the thINKing cata-logue. I've read its words and absorbed its teachings many times and finally had the wisdom to implement its lessons.
