Creativity is one of the key factors that sets you apart from others, whether it be in your work or in your personal life. Being able to keep a clear head while being creative is definitely a useful tip for succeeding. This blog post was very informative and helpful. Thanks Karl!

Hi Lance, we are lucky to have read the book.

Hi Positively Present, go buy it now.

Hi Evita, cooking is all about experimenting and seeing what works. If a recipe turns out bad then just try it again and again until it all clicks.

Hi Tess, sometimes it’s easier to come up with ideas for other people.

Hi Audra, we all need a catalyst at times. Just that little spark to get us going.

Hi Marelisa, you are more than welcome. I always love telling people about great ideas and products.

Hi Karl: I love this review, thank you. I filled the ebook with all sorts of creativity techniques and methods precisely so that people can keep referring to it over and over again and always find a new angle to approach a problem or situation they may be facing. Also, thank you to Lance for his endorsement and to Tess for her kind words. I was already in a good mood when I landed here but now I’m on an even better mood.

Great, honest review. I really appreciate your authenticity.
Yes, for every creative action there can be an equal and opposite reaction – Frustration! Which can lead to anger and then to quitting for me. I need just a little catalyst at times, but have to moderate, as too many ideas overstimulate and then I do nothing.

Karl,
This is a wonderful testimonial to Marelisa, her book and her blog. Her blog never fails to give a wealth of information. I have no doubt her book does the same. Her expertise on this topic is mindblowing.

I’m a very creative person and often come up with a ton of ideas for other people. Is that crazy or what? I’m sure with her book I’d be unstuck in no time.

Hi Karl

Thanks for spreading the word on this. It sounds very valuable indeed.

I think creativity is such an important component of life in all areas. While this will probably be very beneficial to help people at work, I bet it will improve the creative flow in other areas too.

For example, people often say that they “don’t know how to cook” – but what I found is that knowing how to cook has little to do with “knowing” and much to do with how creative one is or is willing to be. And this translates to all sorts of problem solving scenarios in our lives, so again, I love the sound of this book and am sure it will be a very valuable asset to many!

Karl,
I have a copy of Marelisa’s “How to be More Creative” ebook, and I’ll second what you’re saying here. This book is jam-packed with ideas and ways to get your creative juices flowing. In fact, just recently I was working on a new book idea, and was feeling a little stuck on trying to put some direction around the whole project. First place to go – this ebook! And I found a technique that helped tremendously in giving me some of that direction that was eluding me. In fact, I keep a copy of it on my desktop, so I can quickly access it whenever I’m feeling a little stuck.

Marelisa’s book is such a rich resource on different creativity techniques – making is a handbook I’ve referred to often. Awesome material, and presented in a way that makes for easy picking up and jumping into the book wherever.

Great review, Karl!
