"An inspiration-sparking look at creativity, featuring brief examples of artists, writers, and innovators who have broken the mold. In succinct and engaging entries, Rod Judkins, a lecturer at the world-famous Central Saint Martin's College of Art, collects inspiring examples of creative thinkers throughout history, showing how we can all learn from them to improve our lives and our work.

Takeaways include: - Be stubborn about compromise. - Plan to have more accidents. - Be mature enough to be childish. - Contradict yourself more often"-- |
