Too Fast to Think

An inspiring and easy to read book full of good ideas. It is not instructional but uses examples of what works for others to inspire you. I enjoyed the style, but there were probably a few too many facts and figures for me in places. Some really interesting information snippets though. I enjoyed the examples from successful creatives. The variety was so good that you could match yourself with anyone's style. I've got a few ideas to take away and work on. Paradoxically and unavoidably the book poses a bit of a dilemma.: There was so much information coming that it was almost impossible to think !!! Really good book Though

One would have thought this book would be on the ills of technology, but its focus is, instead, on how we have stifled our creativity by allowing technology to fill up our every second to the point we lose our sleep over it.
The book provides some guide on how to start to think, and encourage others, how to think creatively. Lest people think that this is all baloney, I find his advice to be simple, timely. For example, just going out for a walk is enough to kickstart thinking creatively.
I would like to recommend this book, although it can also become boring at some points.

This book had me curious because the topic at hand, how does our world of constant distractions from e-mail, media, and social media impact our ability to be creative and think. I know what impact it has on me, and how it decreases my performance and ability to solve complex problems.
While I found that the book remained reasonably interesting I had to but it away for some time because I felt I had gotten stuck. Never a great feeling, but after some weeks I picked it up again and once more felt it delivered on its promise and premise. It caused me to revisit some of the things I do on a daily basis and how my actions are impacted by the distractions I face daily. Overall an interesting read.
