A Whack on the Side of the Head: How You Can Be More Creative

by Roger Von Oech

Stimulates creativity with engaging, thought-provoking exercises.

A Whack on the Side of the Head is a treasure trove of inspiration—it's like having your very own creativity coach in book form. If you find yourself hitting a mental block, whether at work or in your personal projects, this book can help dislodge those barriers. It’s fun, easy to dive into, and can be returned to time and time again for fresh insights.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
