Out of Our Minds: Learning to Be Creative
Ratings5
Average rating3.8
From the Back Cover:
"It is often said that education and training are the keys to the future. They are, but a key can be turned in two directions. Turn it one way and you lock resources away, even from those they belong to. Turn it the other way and you release resources and give people back to themselves. To realize our true creative potential —in our organizations, in our schools and in our communities— we need to think differently about ourselves and to act differently towards each other. We must learn to be creative."
—Ken Robinson

Very interesting book. Enjoyable read with some interesting ideas presented.
What we need, says education expert Sir Ken Robinson, is not more education or more training; instead, Robinson thinks we need to be free to be creative.
How to do that is the subject of this book. Along the way, Robinson dispels the myths of creativity, including the overriding myth that creativity is something that only exists in certain individuals.
The best part of the book, for me, were the last two chapters where Robinson clearly defines ways for teachers to encourage students to be more creativity.
Easy to read. Makes you think a LOT if the current teaching/hiring system is outdated.
