Good for Climbing out of the Box the First Time..., 2008-06-21
Doug Hall's book on boosting creativity tosses people out of their box to think differently. The best way to sum up the book is a quote that he provides by Aldous Huxley. It states:

"The secret of genius is to carry the spirit of the child into old age, which means never losing your enthusiasm."

The book starts out with the subjects: Recapturing Innocence, Recapturing Adventurousness, The Birth of Eureka! and more. It continues with many decent sections on how to stimulate the creative sides of our brains.

Overall, Jump Start Your Brain is a decent book on creativity for people trying to climb out of their box first time. A fair amount of repetition, but this is needed for people to re-engage in creativity. Other books like: A Whack on the Side of the Head have more meat on the bones.

What a complete disaster!!!!!, 2007-04-17
The stars giving here should be NEGATIVE 5 stars!! I was excited for this book to arrive, only to be horribly disappointed. I thought this book was totally stupid and immature ! I could only get through the first couple chapters than started skimming through the book only to find that each page after page was excatly the same thing.....there's nothing creative about it.....unless you like going back to kindergarten and acting childish, not sure how that improves one mind in the adult world.
Do you seriously think that giving your boss a "wedgie" or throwing water balloons at someone is going to help one "climb the corporate ladder" ......just how does this "jump start your brain" ?????

A very enjoyable read, 2006-06-03
Doug Hall, who stole the show on TV's American Inventor, has written a wonderful guide to creativity. His ideas and suggestions are recommended for anyone who would like to train or teach creativity. Also, the book has a lot of humor and is very easy to read.

The Sixth Sense, 2006-05-04
It's hard to understand how so many people can give this book a bad review. It seems that the reviews are either wonderful or horrible. Perhaps the people who don't like the book didn't actually finish it.

Just think how bad the move The Sixth Sense would be if you didn't watch the whole thing. It would be just another dumb thriller movie. The ending makes all the difference.

So get the book, read the whole thing, and you'll love it. You'll see dead ideas come to life. :)
