Morgan Worthy (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: March 31, 2000

It is fun to sharpen your creative wits. The puzzles in Aha! do not require any special knowledge or vocabulary. The answers usually come with sudden insight. These "aha effects" are critical components in innovative problem-solving. Worthy believes that such thinking is a knack that can be nourished and strengthened. Most of all, though, the puzzles are meant to be enjoyable-a place to play, and let your mind show you how fun it is to think.

4.0 out of 5 stars Now I Can Use My Brain, June 21, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Aha!: A Puzzle Approach to Creative Thinking (Paperback)

I thought I knew a good bit about sparking my creative juices, but Aha! showed me through fun and often frustratingly challenging puzzles that there's more than one way to view a situation. The only problem is that now I lok for hidden meanings in almost everything I read...but that's well worth the price for being able to now think about things in 3D.

This review is from: Aha!: A Puzzle Approach to Creative Thinking (Paperback)

A fun way to sharpen your creative wits. These word puzzles encourage flexible thinking, and induce the "Aha! effect" - when the lightbulb finally goes on over your head and everything becomes clear. Although some are easier than others, thinking outside the box is required for these challenging and clever brainteasers! A unique collection that will truly inspire creative thought.
