You may already believe that ‘creativity’ is an important skill for your students or kids to develop. But, do you really know what this means? You know it’s more than just signing them up for an art class, but how can you help them actually develop creativity? Creativity for Everybody is an accessible, fun, inspirational book about what creativity means plus simple tips for how to support creative thinking in yourself and others.

Reading this book opened my eyes to a broader definition of creativity and the value of creative thinking in problem solving and innovation. It’s a quality I want my kids to embrace to help them be positive contributors to the world. This is an accessible, fun, and inspirational book about what creativity really means with simple tips for how to support creative thinking in kids and adults.

Creativity for Everybody brings common examples into focus and expands on them in an easy-to-follow style. It tempts one to read on and on. I will recommend this to my clients: business CEOs, government leaders, and to the general public. This book is in a class of its own!

This is a playful book–a little book–a joyful book! Each page pops with original ways to express what it says. The authors want the readers to be comfortable with their own creativity.

Parents would do well to keep this useful book in mind, to help them gain new insights into so-called ‘disruptive behaviors’ such as constant questioning, daydreaming, or abundant energy, which might be frowned upon by adults and in school.

I am delighted and privileged to be able to share Creativity for Everybody with the student teachers I supervise for Whittier College and with colleagues who work in teacher preparation programs.

. . .[E]xcellent discussions, ideas, and graphics are concisely presented in 84 pages. The book appeals to both visual and cognitive ways of thinking so that teachers and students are simultaneously stimulated in both modalities. Some topics covered by Haydon and Harvey are: creativity is shifting perspective, thinking, freedom, essential, and personal; practicing creativity; inquiry; and finding meaning. I highly recommend this book for all individuals who want to be inspired to be more creative and innovative.

The book includes mini case studies that illustrate how principles of creativity have been successfully employed to transform a small business department or initiate a deeper culture of innovation in a consumer products company. . . Internalizing the concepts in this gem of a book has the potential to transform someone into a more creative individual, empowering you to make creativity part of your DNA, too.

The more hands we can get Creativity for Everybody into – the better – to help fan the flames of the movement to a more enlightened, creative, brave way of being human.

Groundbreaking new book!
