Everyone has experienced that joyful moment when the light flashes on - the Ah-Ha! of creativity. Creativity. It is the force that drives problem-solving, informs effective decision-making and opens new frontiers for ambition and intelligence. Those who succeed have learned to harness their creative power by keeping that light bulb turned on.

Now Edwards has decoded the secrets of the creative process to help you tap your full creative potential and apply that power to everyday problems. How does she do this? Through the power of drawing - power you can harness to see problems in new ways. Through simple step-by-step exercises that require no special artistic abilities, Edwards will teach you how to take a new point of view, how to look at things from a different perspective, how to see the forest and the trees, in short, how to bring your visual, perceptual brainpower to bear on creative problem-solving.

You will learn how the creative process progresses from stage to stage and how to move your own problem-solving through these key steps: First insight, Saturation, Incubation, Illumination (the Ah-Ha!), and Verification. Whether you are a business manager, teacher, writer, technician, or student, you'll find this the most effective programme ever created for tapping your creative powers.

Profusely illustrated with hundreds of instructional drawings and the work of master artists, this book is written for people with no previous experience in art.
