The Creativity Scrapbook

I love self help books. They are filled with strange human systems and ideas. I also hate them. There is usually a small seed of an idea that is broken down and then blown out over hundreds of pages. More often than not, the author could have explained everything you needed to know in a small brochure. Here are some of my self-help book ideas. Please send me your fake book cover illustrations if you feel inspired (see below):

Note: This list was created using the patented 10 Ideas In Ten Minutes™ creative method. (You can read about it in my Creative Method and Systems presentation, slide 97)

2. The Third Place - Working from Starbucks and other stories of caffeinated entrepreneurship
