Out of Our Minds: Learning to be Creative, 2nd Edition
John Wiley and Sons Ltd, March 2011, Pages: 344
Ken Robinson argues that organisations everywhere are trying to fix a problem that originates in schools and universities. Many people leave education with no idea what their creative abilities and strengths are. In a powerful and original way, he says why this is and what organisations and individuals can do immediately to recover their creative talents.
Revised edition will have following changes:
- Updated to accommodate recent changes to the education system (internationally), and to include more recent examples and case studies
- Focus of the book shifted to give more international examples and refer to US education system; to appeal to overseas markets.
- Some of the heavier academic content has been stripped out and content has been adapted for more consumer/think-piece market.
