My Review:
In continuation to my binge on self help books, Blow the Lid Off: Reclaim Your Stolen Creativity, Increase Your Income, and Let Your Light Shine! happens to be the next one. Robert has done a phenomenal job in delivering what he truly wishes to say in a very crystal clear fashion. He has laid out facts and figures in the most layman terms that can be consumed by anyone. He has not only managed to put across his thoughts in a simple form but has been thoroughly genuine and plain throughout the book.
Robert manages to keep his readers captivated from the 1st chapter where he provides transition advise from a negative thought form to a positive one. Apart from these positive affirmative ideas, Robert provides actual facts and statistics about how creativity is one of the most vital skill in this current era by using LinkedIn Economic Graph and IBM data analysis.
His unique yet simple methods to equip ourselves with creative skills is very well thought out and uncomplicated.
Throughout the book, Robert uses everything ranging from examples of simple men creating and inventing great things, statistics, principles, and much more to empower his readers to devour the quintessence of creativity to the maximum extent possible and one must really appreciate the research that has gone into consolidating all this information. The tidbit advice and statements made by other creative people who have succeeded in their field by harnessing their creativity is just cherry on top. Robert has leveraged every possible means and methods to help his readers gauge the concept of creativity and consciously apply this in their day to day life until they break habit from their default setting.
I will try my best to apply my learning from this book in my day to day life and look forward to read more of such books written by Robert.
