• 5.0 out of 5 stars from Wendy von Oech -- Be True to You : Being true to yourself sometimes involves seeing and acting contrary to the mainstream. You may need to "develop a thick skin" or "flex your risk muscle" to navigate uncharted waters. Roger offers these and 18 other "Wise Fool" strategies in this delightful and inspiring book to help us be more creative in our work and personal lives.

• 5.0 out of 5 stars from Mary Gospe, Principal, KickStart Alliance -- Empowering and entertaining! : The Creative Contrarian is a fun and practical book that had me laughing out loud while learning tools and techniques to challenge my thinking, ignite my creativity and question the status quo. The book is packed with interesting examples and stories spanning from ancient times to current business and world events. The 20 "Wise Fool" Strategies may be consulted as an oracle or one selected as a daily mantra to assist you with problem-solving and idea generation. This has become a "go-to" book that resides on my desk, rather than the book case. ( Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2021 )

Combining ancient proverbs, historical anecdotes, and a wry sense of humor; von Oech inhabits his "wise fool" persona and lends advice for enhancing creativity on every page of the book. I loved it.

Thought-provoking yet always light-hearted, this book goes through a series of strategies for practicing one's creativity by maintaining a contrarian attitude.

This book is a good antidote to the cynicism that many creative personalities develop after several years in the workforce. ( Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2021 )
