The premise of this book is quite intriguing to me, a person who spends much of his time engaged in creative work. Peredelka geforce v quadro fx pro. Argues that creativity functions best when you put as little resistance against it as you can.

In other words, if you take away obstacles and open as many creative channels as you can, you’ll maximize your creative potential. I understand this premise deeply – it’s why I often write in the middle of the night with nothing on but some light instrumental music while my children and my wife are in bed. I’m not worried about work or any deadlines and I can just open the floodgates – that’s when the ideas happen. I think it also explains why many people come up with great ideas in the shower – the opportunity to use a shower to slow down, enjoy the warm water and cleanliness, and let some stress pass out of us opens up the creative channels.

I think that’s a pretty sensible philosophy for life, actually. Chapter 2: The Reactive-Responsive Orientation Most people go through life merely going with the flow of the events around them, reacting (negatively) or responding (positively) to these events. Rather than looking for things that can be changed, their path of least resistance involves just floating along until an external event forces them to change paths. They either react by fighting it or they respond by trying to solve the problem, and when it’s fixed, they go back to drifting.
