Same Stuff Over and Over Again
Writer is a very talented person. If you read one of his books you will get lots of valuable insights. But he found a way to make money. He is using the same ideas and content for writing different books. So if you do read any book of this person... Do not buy this book... Because you will feel like "i saw this before"...

This books makes you do the work!!!...
Alot of people will not understand this book because their minds are not used to working on problems in the manner of imagining "what might be", and "what if" scenarios that that compel you to think in different dimensions. It feels very strange to think in different dimensions. These exercises take alot of mental persistance and practice to get over the initial feelings of strangeness that accompany the skills and powers that these exercises convey!!!

Heraclitus is the Man!
The Ancient Whacks of Heraclitus have jolted my thinking. It's a great creativity tool and I'm recommending it to all of friends. It's a splendid follow-on product to Roger's Creative Whack Pack.
