Michael Michalko's handbook sets out structured creative-thinking techniques, each with clear instructions and examples of how others have used it to reach a breakthrough idea.

Michalko's much-loved handbook of creative-thinking techniques — structured exercises for cracking everyday problems in unexpected ways. A pure play in the SDF's Procedures component: the disciplined craft of generating ideas on demand.
Now in a revised and expanded second edition, the book sets out a wide range of creative-thinking techniques, from linear methods to more intuitive ones, each presented with instructions and an explanation of why it works. Michalko illustrates the techniques with anecdotes and examples of people who used them to reach breakthrough ideas, aiming to help readers see familiar information in unfamiliar ways.
