This book was not what I thought it would be, which was a deep exploration about imagination as a concept. It was about creativity in general, and since I read a lot on that topic, I didn't find much new material here.

A better name for this book would have been something like "A History of Creativity." It was less about how to become more creative and more about the various ways people have been creative and the world has developed. I can sum up the lessons of this book this quickly: use your imagination to get better at it. That's the thesis of how to get better at imagination. There. Now you can skip this book.
