Book Reviews of Out of Our Minds: Learning to be Creative
Book Review: Absolutely amazing! Right on target.
Summary: 5 Stars
I was put on to Ken Robison's work after listening to his TED talk about the same subject. This is probably one of the most influential and thought-changing books I've ever read. It is very well written, is well thought-out, and highly relevant. It is long, but it is thorough, and I appreciated that. I was never bored reading it. I've bought a copy for my Sister, am lending mine to an artist friend of mine, and am considering buying one for my Brother & Sister-in-Law. I truly wish I had read this book in High School or earlier, although I'm not sure I would've appreciated the message fully. I definitely plan on using the book to form how I direct the education of my children, and my own continuing education as an adult. An eye-opener. The only drawback is that, having this kind of understanding will likely generate ideas that are disruptive to the status-quo around you. I highly recommend buying this book and reading it, which is not something I do often, although I do read a lot of books on different subjects.
