Summary: Once in a while, it is nice to read a book that is well drawn and less wordy, letting the imagination takes place in the head. Indeed, picture paints a thousand words. The author, an orthodontist by day and artist by night, and also the creator of incidental comics, depicted a creative methods and visually stunning drawings for engaging the readers in generating creativity and ideas. Each pages of the book showed the author’s comically talent while keeping the content in context, whilst encouraging the readers to think and rethink what could spark the creative side of oneself. The combination of humour, seriousness, doubtfulness, laughter and sadness are well blend-in for each of the story told. In the end, there is no one single formula or method for igniting the sparks of creativity or ideas. Instead, we must try all methods of creative searching and not leaving even a single tiny effort because we never know the next big ideas may be just an inch away of grasp.
