RESOURCES ON CREATIVITY

Our favorite magazine, Utne Reader (www.utne.com) recommends the following books on creativity:

Twyla Tharp, The Creative Habit (Simon and Schuster, 2002): "The modern-dance giant shares her quirky and very down-to-earth methods for sparking creativity: toss the change in your pocket on a table, arrange it in a pattern and give it a name. Pick an action -- any action -- and act it out. Immediately useful and wise to boot."

Steven Pressfield, The War of Art: Winning the Inner Creative Battle (Rugged Land, 2002): "Pressfield, a no-nonsense novelist and screenwriter...makes a brilliant diagnosis of the malaise that keeps creators from creating. He calls it resistance, and shows how to defeat it with a unique blend of machismo and spirituality."
