review 1: I found this book to be a disappointment. I looked forward to reading it because two authors I do find engaging, Daniel Pink and Steven Pressfield, sing its praises. I didn't disagree with the book's content or message, I just found the delivery to be a bit saccharin. I have to agree with the reviewer who said there was little new here and what is here is a lot of fluff. Furthermore, not a lot of practical tips for application of the ideas. It was basically just "Go be spontaneous" and "Be a maverick iconoclast" and then would tell a lot of stories/anecdotes, the overwhelming majority of which were borrowed from the pages of other motivational books. There was also a self congratulatory tone that was off-putting and left me with no desire to see Eric Wahl's 3 minute painti... morengs. An impromptu upside down painting of Steve Job's? I should have trusted my gut on this one when I saw that on the cover the anarchy symbol stands in for the A the author's name. Okay, so there is some good stuff here and I agree with the premise of connecting with your intuition, but a lot of this is schtick with little practical, pragmatic nuts and bolts. Read it for a motivational shot in the arm (it's short).
review 2: Erik Wahl will help you to reawaken your creative genius: that imaginative child you once were, so aware of the world around you. You will explore that youthful awareness, wonderment, and vigor you once had. Furthermore, you can take all your positive child-like senses, along with the creativity and imagination they drive, and put them to work for you, today. "Unthink: Rediscover Your Creative Genius" will not only help you rediscover the creative child you once were, but it will show you the simplistic concept of how certain traits drive children to learn, discover, and advance at an accelerated rate. Then, you can discover how and why you lost such traits, to become who you are, currently. Most importantly, Wahl takes you through a process of rediscovery to help you become who you can still be: a person with greater potential. If you free your imagination, letting out the child-like-traits within, it can feed that insatiable hunger for adventure in life. It shifts the paradigm from unlocking the shackles of drudgery and redundancy to teach you to think outside the box, visualizing and creating new concepts and opening a world of possibility through innovation. Erik Wahl's book can be a bridge to a newer, better you. less
