Review: How to Think Like Einstein: Simple Ways to Break the Rules and Discover Your Hidden Genius

User Review  - Richard Stephenson - Goodreads

I liked it. A fun, quick, and decently useful overview of thinking a bit more "out-of-the-box." No real major breakthroughs here, but a nice compilation (in an easily and enjoyably digestible format) of philosophies and techniques to squeeze a bit more power out of your intra-ear CPU.

User Review  - Dawn - Goodreads

Boring review of every other book that discusses innovation, etc. but brings Einstein's name into the mix to give it credibility.
