Retreat from Tuesday Morning

Cultivating your creativity with a Mickey Mouse hat and pliers placed prominently upon the desk...
Update, via Mocoloco: There's a book, The Inspired Workspace: Interior Designs for Creativity & Productivity. Come on over to the garden loggia and let's talk about it!
For anyone interested in creativity, I would recommend a book from 1986, Creativity: Genius and Other Myths by Robert Weisberg. I read it years ago, and am still fascinated by it. The work is still available from Amazon as a used book. A very enjoyable read.

Googling the book Jeff mentioned unearthed this long interesting article on creativity:

"One of the basic premises of developing a genius brain is: learn to capitalize on positive emotions and circumvent negative emotions.Emotion management skills may actually be the most important factor that will determine if a person will or will not develop its full genius potential."
