书籍介绍
这本书最锋利之处,在于它把'创造力'拆解成可被观察、可被训练的东西,而非玄之又玄的天赋。作者 James Adams 工科与设计出身,通篇以清单、模块、图示推进,几乎不说废话——这让它格外适合习惯结构化思考的技术人。它不满足于喊'放开想象',而是系统列出感知、情感、文化、环境、智力、表达六类'思维枷锁',其中最具争议的是文化枷锁:我们从小被灌输'理性至上、直觉低贱''标准答案即真理',以至于面对没有答案的问题时一筹莫展。读者反复提到的正是这一点:中学教育强化了分析与判断,却废掉了综合与发散。这本书的价值,是帮你识别那些'本不存在、却被你强加'的框框,并练习在高层与底层视角间自由升降——而这恰是优秀设计的核心能力。

精彩摘录
  • "the fifth cultural block on our list is"Reason, logic, numbers, utility, practicality are good; feeling, intuition, qualitative judgement, pleasure are bad"."
  • "The present awesome progress in genetics and biochemistry (through a large amount of secondary creativity) rests upon the discovery of RNA and DNA and their functions and structures (primary creativity)."
  • "people have different value systems and desires. They tend to reinforce this by associating with others with similar ones. Human are quite tribal in this way and large collections of people, like a nation, consist of a large number of groups who disagree --- liberals and conservatives, Catholics and"
用户评论
实用且幽默
quite a few good points here
这是一本很简短的书,跟编程应该没什么直接关系,主要说的是思维思考的过程,和局限性,和怎样打破这些局限性。
读的中文版。精神上放松自己,促成酝酿过程,学会等待时机。
值得一读
17年在冰岛南角的airbnb巧取此册1976版本,大纲清晰、图文并茂,最重要是Jim工科/设计出身,文字输出以列表和模块为主,没啥废话。
《编程珠玑》推荐到这本书,确实值得码农们一看
解决问题
阐述了创造型思维的障碍,很有帮助。
