Your Creative Brain: Seven Steps to Maximize Imagination, Productivity, and Innovation in Your Life

• Explains the seven brainsets of the mind and their functions as related to creativity, productivity, and innovation, including Open, Scan, Think, Vision, Appraise, Streaming and Goal

• Provides quizzes, exercises, and self-tests to activate each of these seven brainsets to unlock our maximum creativity
