Michael Michalko 写过两本关于创造力的极佳好书：《Thinkertoys》（http://www.amazon.com/Thinkertoys-Handbook-Creative-Thinking...）和《Cracking Creativity》（http://www.amazon.com/Cracking-Creativity-Secrets-Creative-G...）。两本都在我的人生挚爱书单里，不过它们内容比较相似，买其中一本就行。它们涵盖了……
Michael Michalko has two excellent books on creativity: Thinkertoys (http://www.amazon.com/Thinkertoys-Handbook-Creative-Thinking...) and Cracking Creativity (http://www.amazon.com/Cracking-Creativity-Secrets-Creative-G...) They're both among my fave books of all time, though they are relatively similar in content so getting just one is fine. They cover…
……给计算机堆上一堆启发式算法（heuristics，比如《How to Solve It》）。然后，它马上就会比人类更有创造力。然而，几乎毫无知识的人类反而更有创造力。我对创造力的第一次研究就是 Michalko 的《Cracking Creativity》。浏览里面的工具时，我发现它们全都是关于改变看待问题的视角或者如何把碎片连接起来。另一部作品告诉我，天才之所以是天才，更多地取决于他们遗忘或忽略了什么……
…computer with a pile of heuristics (eg How to Solve It). Then, it will be more creative than humans in no time. Yet, humans with virtually no knowledge are more creative. My first study of creativity was Cracking Creativity by Michalko. Skimming its tools, I noticed all of them were about changing how one looks at a problem or connects its pieces. Another work told me geniuses are defined by what they forget or ignore more…
…and which things are outside of my control. I now spend a lot more time focusing on the former and a lot less time being anxious about the latter. 2) Books like "Traction" (by Gabriel Weinberg) and "Cracking Creativity" that take a fuzzy subject like marketing or being creative and show that you can get very far by following recipes/algorithms/heuristics. Skill like creativity are not purely innate; they can be learned.…

……以及哪些事情不在我的控制范围内。我现在花多得多的时间关注前者，少花很多时间为后者感到焦虑。2）像（Gabriel Weinberg 写的）《Traction》和《Cracking Creativity》这样的书，它们把像营销或发挥创造力这种模糊玄乎的课题抽丝剥茧，向你证明按部就班地遵循步骤套路/算法/启发式规则也能走得很远。创造力这类技能不纯是天生的；它们是可以通过学习掌握的。……
