Review of Climbing Bubbles
[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "Climbing Bubbles" by Patrick Sanaghan.]
Do you see yourself as a creative person? Your answer to this question might be relative. Therefore, I will ask another question: do you struggle with being creative? If your answer to the second question is "yes," Patrick Sanaghan's Climbing Bubbles: How To Increase Your "Creative IQ" is for you. The author shares strategies that will help the reader become a creative genius, even if they don't see themselves as one. After reading this review, I will encourage you to follow the "bookshelves" button to get a copy of this book; it will transform your mind and change your life (I mean every word).
I will describe this book with two terms: a book of creativity and a book of strategies. These terms perfectly describe what the author wants the reader to achieve and how he expects them to achieve it. The author takes the time to debunk some myths about creativity that have deprived many people of the opportunity to be creative. He also shares creativity hacks that even someone who does not see themselves as creative can apply. Sprinkled in between these discussions are strategies to implement everything the author presents.
Every chapter of the book had a significant impact on me. However, the fourth and fifth chapters stood out for me. In the fourth chapter, the author clarified where to place criticism so it would not kill creativity. He said this to a team he worked with: "I need to focus on the possibilities today. Please don't put on your critic's hat. There will be a time and place for disciplined criticism. Today I want to create possible solutions." In the fifth chapter, the author introduced the concept of the "wildcard." Read the book to know how that would help you to become more creative.
I only had one thing that threw me off a bit. These two things at the beginning of the book got me confused: "Climbing Bubbles: Susan Joyce Clark" and "How to Increase Your Creative IQ: Sanaghan and Conway (2010)." I was confused about whether there was a co-author or whether the book's first part used Susan Joyce Clark as a case study. Unfortunately, none of those would be the case, as the book was not divided into parts. Also, the role of Susan Joyce Clark was never explained anywhere in the book, not even in the references. As a result of this confusing part, I'd deduct a star and rate the book a four out of five.

This sounds like just the kind of book I need. I often feel like creativity is something you're either born with or not, so I’m really drawn to the idea that it can be developed with strategies. I also liked the quote about focusing on possibilities before criticism—that’s something I can start practicing right away. Thanks for the helpful review!
