READ THIS BOOK
I've read a ton of mindset/creative books and think this is one of the best books out there on the topic. Every chapter holds so much information and you'll want to re-read each sentence over and over again. Well written, clear, thorough, obtainable to-do's and actions, gives you food for thought, makes you question how you think and why you think like that...I can't recommend enough and it's going to be my new go-to book for gifting.

Really interesting read!
I was asked for an unbiased review of this book. I always enjoy non-fiction that is informative and helpful to me, something I can use daily. The book was well-written with goals and aims that were achievable to better improve patterns of thinking, such as critical thinking skills, by encouraging people to be creative in their thinking patterns and ‘thinking outside of the box’.Not everyone is critical of their learning or thinking patterns. Still, I believe this writing could support others in that area as this could improve peoples’ cognition and understanding. It would be positive to see more references throughout because when influencing readers, one needs to be better sourced. I feel there is potential, though and I would recommend this book to others seeking some advice on unlocking your inner potential.

Competent but Unexciting
If you have not read any books on personal creativity then you will find this work useful, detailed and instructive. If you have read other works in this genre then you will find little that is original or creative here. The five main elements of the "equation" are familiar topics such as "learn all sorts of random things" and "make use of your brain's innate ability to connect things". The ideas are supported by a wealth of neuroscience theory. The book is written from a very personal perspective. The author considers himself to be highly creative. He disdains group ideation and brainstorm methods and considers that really great ideas only come from inviduals. This runs counter to my experiences where I have found that a well-facilitated brainstorm can produce many creative incremental and radical proposals. The final part of the book contains the most useful practical ideas so I suggest that you read part 3 first.

An interesting book!
THE IDEATION EQUATION: How a Handful of Habits Can Make You a Creative by Linus Bille is a very good book with plenty of ideas to boost creativity. Are we born being creative or is it something we can learn with time? This is a question that was around in my mind as soon as I started reading this book. I learnt that we can learn many things and adopt different habits to boost our creativity.I think this is a book everyone will find interesting and beneficial. Creativity is important for everything in life and the more creative we are, the more opportunities we can have, in my opinion. I totally recommend reading it.

Maybe I CAN learn new tricks
I’m sure I’m not the only one who feels this way, but sometimes I think I’m too old to learn things. I’ve been in China almost five years. Do I know Mandarin? Not really. There might be some truth to that saying about old dogs and new tricks… I can’t remember the saying now because I never learned it, but my point is, sometimes I think I’m past the age of learning. Well, I used to think that. Then I started reading “The Ideation Equation” and I’m second-guessing myself.In his book, Linus Bille provides some insight on how to foster a growth mindset: he gives a general introduction to creative thinking and ideation, then provides greater detail about five methods to attune creative thinking, and then finishes up with a practical approach to create new thinking strategies.I have to admit, Mr. Bille has me thinking! His ideas and theories are interesting and worth a read.
