There's ideas and thoughts going through your brain. That's just what itmeans to be alive and to be conscious. So at any moment if you told me come up with ten ideas for a book, or ten inventions that don'texist yet, the, the reason why people feel blocked, it's not about the inability to create, it's about some imagined standard they havefor how good each idea needs to be. I could come up with ten terrible ideas for books simply by taking ten books that already exist andfinding some negative word to add to them to make 'em sound terrible.
being blocked is usually about, for some reason, a person has convincedthemselves of how the quality level of every idea that comes out oftheir mind has to be really high.
if your goal is to be more creative, to be better at coming up withideas for things, one of the most important relationship you canhave, and you need to invest in, is your relationship with yourself,what you think about your own ideas. Becauseif you're so afraid of what might come out of your brain then theodds of you discovering something unusual or seeing something,something with better perspective is so much smaller because yourinhibitions are really high. And reducing those inhibitions aboutwhat you think now increases what's gonna make it on the page, whichwill increase what you'll have the confidence to pitch your co-workeron, or your boss. So I, I am convinced that one of the best tools youcan have for thinking, forget even creative, for thinking at all,being a better thinker, is keeping some kind of a journal.
If everyone in the meeting, in the discussion to solve this really hardproblem, only said things that they were 100 percent confident wouldmake sense, you're not gonna find anything that interesting.
That's how you get people to become more open-minded, by validation from thepower structure, and then eventually validation by other people whowanna emulate the process you're using to create those kinds ofresults.
onany team of people, let's say you have a team of ten people, there'sprobably gonna be a distribution of people's biases, bias is the wrong word, of people's, their tendencies. You're gonna have three orfour people that, that are gonna tend the most to want the quick and, quick and easy solution. And you'll also probably have three or fourpeople that are going to be better at striving for a be a deeper,more complete idea. So if I had a process, if I had a, a projectwhere I wanted a big, I'd probably start with a, a smaller group comprised of people who naturally extend, they wanna, they wanna godeeper. I'd probably start with them, and build some esprit de corpswith them, before I opened up the project to more people. I, or they,they draw a diagram for how to solve it. And I go "no, no, no,no, no, we're not trying to solve the problem right now. We're justtrying to talk about, like, concepts." And, and so, uh,eventually we created a rule for some of these meetings where you'renot actually allowed to discuss a solution. We're gonna talk for,like, 30 minutes or 40 minutes, and you don't have to stay in theroom. If this drives you crazy, you don't have to stay in the room.
What unexplored ways are there to solve this problem? Whatways from history has this problem been solved, like, 15 years ago?That's often a fun way to be creative is actually by, andorganizations that get so obsessed with tradition. There's often away to go back in time to how a problem was solved, like, 15 yearsago in the same organization that was once used but got abandoned forthe wrong reasons, and you can bring it back, and people go "wedon't, this is too different." You can go "no, this is,this is how this was solved here."
People can choose to stay if they want to follow along, but, to weight thetables towards people who are, normally have an aptitude and they're drawn to those sorts of conversations, start with them first.
I don't think idea generation is very hard, and you don't need thatmany different methods, so that chapter has probably seven or eight methods that are the basic ones that I think are the easiest tolearn, most useful. So the first one is the opposite, what I call theopposite game, and the opposite game is when you sit down, sonormally in these, the stereotype, the stereotypical, like, watereddown brainstorming technique is you get into a room, someone presentsa problem, and then everyone just throws out ideas which you write onthe whiteboard until it gets, people start, the rate slows down, andthen you write them up somewhere, and you hope that someone doessomething with the list after the meeting. you have the same goal, solet's say I'm the project manager, I want to figure out how to improve customer satisfaction by 50 percent. That's what I know isthe goal for the project. But instead of starting there, I'm gonna start with the opposite goal. I'mgonna tell the room full of my teammates "our goal for at leastten minutes is we're gonna try to come up with ideas to make customersatisfaction worse by 50 percent."

(1)Reason to have Creativity blocked: a person has convinced themselves of how the quality level of every idea that comes out of their mind has to be really high. Ifyou're so afraid of what might come out of your brain then the odds of you discovering something unusual or seeing something, something with better perspective is so much smaller because your inhibitions are really high.
(2)How you get people to become more open-minded: by validation from thepower structure, and then eventually validation by other people who wanna emulate the process you're using to create those kinds ofresults.
(3) Three or four people that are going to be better at striving for a deeper, more complete idea.
(4) Idea generation: go to the basic methods, such as opposition---create a relax environment for creativity, and figure out the useful components.
