Who is Heraclitus, and what is he whacking, you ask? Heraclitus was an ancient Greek philosopher, widely considered the world's first creativity teacher. The deck has 32 cards, each containing a "whack," or eye-opening exercise based on the epigrams of Heraclitus. They will spur creative thinking and allow you to look at a problem from a fresh perspective. Created by Roger von Oech, author of the best-selling book, A Whack on the Side of the Head and the Creative Whack Pack.

This review is from: Roger Von Oech's Ancient Whacks of Heraclitus: A Creativity Tool Based on the Epigrams of Heraclitus (Cards)
Alot of people will not understand this book because their minds are not used to working on problems in the manner of imagining "what might be", and "what if" scenarios that that compel you to think in different dimensions. It feels very strange to think in different dimensions. These exercises take alot of mental persistance and practice to get over the initial feelings of strangeness that accompany the skills and powers that these exercises convey!!!

A Wonderful Thought-Provoking Creativity Tool!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Roger Von Oech's Ancient Whacks of Heraclitus: A Creativity Tool Based on the Epigrams of Heraclitus (Cards)
Looking for creative inspiration? Try consulting the world's first creativity teacher: Heraclitus of Ephesus (flourished circa 500 BC). This card deck consists of 30 of Heraclitus' best enigmatic epigrams, illustrated by George Willett, and with commentary by Roger von Oech. Lots of good ideas! This deck is a wonderful complement to Roger's other work: "A Whack on theSide of the Head" and the "Creative Whack Pack."

Same Stuff Over and Over Again,

Writer is a very talented person. If you read one of his books you will get lots of valuable insights. But he found a way to make money. He is using the same ideas and content for writing different books. So if you do read any book of this person... Do not buy this book... Because you will feel like "i saw this before"...
