Креативноста е комбинаторна сила – таа се потпира на нашата сигурност, на постојаните концепти, спомени, битови на информации, парчиња на знаење и фрагментирани впечатоци за нови идеи.Нашиот ум всушност претставува низа на различни битови кои споени заедно можат да создадат одлична комбинација.
Еден начин за интелектуална исхрана е читањето на книги. На пример листата на книги на Карл Саган, Алан Тјуринг и Ник Кејв.
Еве една комбинација на книги од сензибилитет и изобилство на фанастика, до поезија и историја, која мора да ја разгледате а доколку имате време и можност и прочитате…
