What stood out to me the most was the fact that there was a "Creative Process". I like how it's a structured chaotic organized way to creatively think.
Something that confused me was how to develop a functional perspective. It says to visualize yourself in complementary relationships. I'm not sure what the author is trying to get at in terms of looking at how things complement to satisfy my own needs.
If I could ask two questions I'd ask: During Phase 3 of the creative process, is the "idea experience" only achieved when one isn't trying to seek it? What kinds of methods can I proceed with to grasp the ability to see new and different relationships among, people, technology, objects, etc? Also, I agree that we should "celebrate failure" and keep trying, but when is it enough? When you've failed about 50 times? If so, what's the next step?
I disagree with the statement, "Try making some decisions in the present. That is, do not let your personal history or your estimates about the future dominate your decision making process" (p. 139). I think that that can cause irrational decisions if you decide on the spot. It's ok to take a few minutes to make a choice. It can greatly impact your future.
