A Whack on the Side of the Head: How You Can Be More Creative
by Roger von Oech

New York: Warner Books, 1990

Fully illustrated; filled with provocative puzzles, anecdotes, exercises, metaphors, cartoons, questions, quotations, stories, and tips; this book systematically breaks through your mental blocks and unlocks your mind for creative thinking.

Whack has been praised by business people, educators, scientists, homemakers, artists, and youth leaders. It has been stimulating creativity in millions of readers, translated into eleven languages, and used in seminars around the world.

Roger von Oech is the president of Creative Think, a California-based consulting firm that has conducted creativity seminars with such companies as American Express, Apple Computer, AT&T, CBS, Coca-Cola, GE, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, the Japanese Management Association, NASA, NBC, Procter & Gamble, and the United States Olympic Swimming Team. He earned his doctorate from Stanford University in a self-conceived program in the history of ideas. He lives in Atherton, California, with his wife, Wendy, and their two children, Athena and Alex.
