Reader,

​

Greetings Brain Food Wednesdays Subscribers,
​

Welcome back to your weekly dose of mental nutrition, issue 242nd! Today, we're diving into boosting your creativity.
​

According to Mark Cuban, creativity may be the paramount skill needed for success. While I may not wholeheartedly agree, I recognize creativity as a crucial ability. It is often identified as a key attribute for thriving in the future.
​

To enhance your creative skills, I recommend selecting five quality reads to foster a robust creative foundation. Although reaching expert status in creativity requires time and dedication, these informative texts can serve as a catalyst in your creative journey.
​

Consider reading titles such as The MacGyver Secret by Lee David Zlotoff and Colleen Seifert, How to Get Ideas by Jack Foster and Larry Corby, Find Your Red Thread by Tamsen Webster, Big Little Breakthroughs by Josh Linkner, and Creativity Rules by Tina Seelig. While these recommendations may be unfamiliar, diversifying your reading list can be immensely beneficial.
​

By the way, if you’re interested in more books on creativity. My membership site, the Art of Learning Leadership Academy has many Bookish Notes on creativity that you can dive into.
​

Approach your readings strategically by comparing and contrasting the texts, taking notes, and identifying unexpected insights or gaps in knowledge. Seek out recurring themes or surprising revelations to deepen your understanding.
​

To solidify your newly acquired knowledge, articulate your insights to others and apply them to ongoing projects. This active engagement will reinforce your learning and enhance your creative capabilities.
​

Should you require assistance in acquiring a new skill, reach out. Imagine the transformation you could undergo in three months after engaging with "Applied Knowledge is Power: Reading Strategically to Get Knowledge Faster."
​

If this workshop is not aligned with your current objectives, I invite you to share this opportunity with others who may be interested in:
​

1. Leveraging books as a learning tool.
2. Identifying five essential reads to master any subject.
3. Selecting pertinent literature for personal growth within their respective fields.
4. Analyzing multiple texts to establish influence in their industry.
5. Implementing a structured approach to maximize knowledge acquisition and application.
   ​

Thank you for your continued interest in Brain Food Wednesdays.
​

I invite you to join me for Applied Knowledge is Power: Reading Strategically to Get Knowledge Faster on September 13th and 20th. It’s another way to take ownership of your learning and development.
​

Warm regards,
​
