The section that was the most interesting and surprising was the four-step process of creativity. I thought it was interesting when the author referred to the creativity process as "structured and focused chaos." I never really thought about creativity that way. You can have all the wild ideas you want, but unless you know how to properly implement them into something real then those opportunities will just float away. Something I really connected with in terms of this process was "The Incubation Process." I often find that I get my best ideas while doing something mindless. If I'm driving or even just going for a run, I find that my mind wanders and my creativity really starts going wild.
Something that confused me in the reading was the definition of appositional relationship. I didn't really understand exactly what that term means in terms of entrepreneurship.
Two questions I would ask the author would be 1) What activities can be done to expand creativity and 2) What are some of the myths associated with left-brain vs. right-brain thinking?
Something that I disagree with would be the author's statement about "right-brain" people vs. "left brain" people. Scientists have proven that this concept isn't exactly true. People tend to use all of the connections in their brain for any kind of thinking, whether it be being analytical or imaginative. People are simply just more analytical or imaginative than others.
