When imagining the typical work environment today, images of burned coffee, cubicles, and computers probably come to mind. In this landscape, logic and practicality rule, not because they are necessary, but because they are the only methods by which employees, employers and everyone in between see success being reached. In The Power of Thinking Differently: An Imaginative Guide to Creativity, Change, and the Discovery of New Ideas, Javy W. Galindo redefines this idea by saying that the separation we place between creative thinking and logical thinking is unnecessary.

At the core of this book is that we need to “re-wire our brain

[s] for creative insight.” By doing this, we lead ourselves and our corporations to growth & innovation. In The Power of Thinking Differently, Galindo urges readers to forget the traditional assumption that only writers, artists, and musicians can be “creators” and instead start to realize that they themselves can be creative. Galindo promises readers strategies for finding new ideas in a pinch, and how-to’s on cultivating creativity in groups as well as ways to become more insight prone. This book’s dynamic message and humorous tone will keep readers engaged and satisfied with the applicable take-away — rekindling our childhood imagination is good for business! Buy it.
