There are 3 main categories of books about creativity


There are 3 main categories of books about creativity, in my opinion:

  1. Self-help books (which are, in my opinion, terribly useless, though they sometimes include a few interesting ideas).

  2. Books written by researchers (which tend to make more objective claims and which I personally find more interesting).

  3. Books written by journalists, which tend to be either/or.
