Bennett entitled "Creativity". It is perhaps the most clear and articulate book about this subject in my library (creativity as a subject is at about 55 titles) Bennett had almost nothing to do with design - he was a British army officer who became a spiritual teacher. More advanced reading is his masterpiece - "The Seven-fold Work." I have done a number of workshops on creativity and always use Bennett as a basis. Hope this helps Edward McDonald Theory and Practice Ann Arbor, Michigan
