Expect the Unexpected or You Won’t Find It: A Creativity Tool Based on the Ancient Wisdom of Heraclitus

Open your mind with the creative enigmas of Heraclitus. These innovation strategies–from “You Can’t Step in the Same River Twice” to “Dogs Bark at What They Don’t Understand”–are as relevant today as they were 2,500 years ago when this provocative Greek philosopher wrote them.

Roger von Oech breathes fresh life into these ancient ideas to produce a treasury of useful creativity insights including “Appreciate Turbulence,” “Practice Forgetting,” “Ask a Fool,” “See the Obvious,” “Connect the Unconnected,” “Find a Pattern,” “Use What’s Not There,” and “Reverse Assumptions.”

Whether you read it from start to finish as a creativity workbook, or consult it as a daily oracle, Expect the Unexpected or You Won’t Find It offers a welcome jolt to the imagination!
