Out of Our Minds - Learning to Be Creative 2E by Ken Robinson
It is often said that education and training are the keys to the future. They are, but a key can be turned in two directions. Turn it one way andyou lock resources away, even from those they belong to. Turn it the otherway and you release resources and give people back to themselves. To realizeour true creative potential in our organizations, in our schools and in our communities we need to think differently about ourselves and to actdifferently towards each other. We must learn to be creative. Ken Robinson PRAISE FOR OUT OF OUR MINDS Ken Robinson writes brilliantly about the different ways in which creativity is undervalued and ignored ...especially in our educational systems. John Cleese Out of Our Minds explains why being creative in today'sworld is a vital necessity. This book is not to be missed.

Murphy Distinguished Rresearch Fellow, Harvard Business School; Best-selling Author, Geeks and Geezers All corporate leaders should read this book.
