In The Creative Contrarian, best-selling author, speaker, and toy designer Dr. Roger von Oech provides listeners with a "Wise Fool Guide" to challenge established procedures and engage in creative thinking. Roger shows how to gain the confidence to speak up in "groupthink" situations - and boldly present a different perspective. From laughing at your most beloved ideas to test their validity to adding constraints to problems to reveal new solutions, he offers a framework for creativity that works in business, design, education, and anywhere new ideas are required - and appreciated!
