But, you have to trust me on this, they describe the exact same process of creativity. And that book seems to have been strongly influenced by, "A technique for producing ideas", which is a very slender volume (45 pages of A5 in large-print, barely a slide-deck's worth of thinking) written by the ad-exec James Webb Young in 1960. I'm constantly fascinated by congruence of evil ad-mongers who measure the success of their theories in sales volume and the rather more pointy-headed Csikszentmihalyi.
