Announcing the newly revised edition of Don The Idea Guy's original book...
100-WHATS of CREATIVITY

Updated and revised from its original edition, 100-WHATS of CREATIVITY is chock full of mental detours to help your derailed creative efforts get back on a product path of innovation

Filled with questions that are calculated to whack your thinking in weird, fresh and unusual directions - and help you to power your way through the creative blocks that may be stifling your thinking.

Each page is devoted to a single "What if" question, along with several paragraphs of ancillary what-ifs to help you to apply it to your creative challenge.

Examples include:
What if... it made noise?
What if... it was a candy bar?
What if... it had an attitude?
What if... your idea had a theme song?

These questions are aimed at helping you to clearly visualize the nature, aspects and elements of your creative challenge - its "personality," if you will. This is the first step toward generating ideas about it.

What ifs are interspersed with short quotes from Don The Idea Guy, which are designed to encourage you on your creative thinking journey.

Free online version of the book...

I just know that once you begin using 100-Whats of Creativity as an innovation tool, you'll want to get your own copy to keep handy as a constant resource for improving your ideas and kickstarting your creative process.

By giving you free access to this valuable brainstorming tool, I'm betting that you're going to eventually buy TWO copies of the physical book: one for home and one for the office!

If you really like it, feel free to buy a third copy in order to pass it along to a friend in need of creating bigger and better ideas.

  • "The innovation and ideation process is one that requires new and different ways of thinking. Sometimes when you're immersed in a process or overly familiar with a product it's hard to think of new ways in which to probe the issue creatively. That's where we have found the "100-What's of Creativity" to be an invaluable tool. It prompts the user to look at the issue, process, or product in ways that frequently lead to breakthrough ideas, all by simply asking various "what if" questions. The creativity that results is simply astounding."
