I had to give up on the book after a point. Sure, all the points might be valid and useful. But they are presented as more of an exercise - a page describing how and what to see or listen to is not something I enjoy reading. I cannot memorize what the book "teaches" me or carry it along with me everywhere I go.

Some great ideas here to help with inspiring creativity. Quite a few also that felt too similar to others. Good skimming, though.
