The 20-20 Creativity Solution

Practical Tools for Creative Growth

OVERVIEW

In his 2010 book, John Dillon delves deep into the often illusive concept of creativity, making it easy to understand and—through a simple step- by-step process—easy for anyone to access. He makes a compelling case that awakening your inner creativity is not only worthy but necessary for success in the twenty-first century. By practicing the principles taught in this book youʼll begin integrating with your Authentic Self which is naturally abundant, joyful, and infinitely creative.

THE STORY

“John Dillon practices what he preaches. He preaches the importance and accessibility of creativity and he practices it in his guitar making, his radio producing, and his writing—in this instance, writing an excellent hands-on guide to the creative process!” –ERIC MAISEL, PhD, Americaʼs foremost creativity coach and author of Coaching the Artist Within


“The 20-20 Creativity Solution is a refreshing departure from the usual right-brain focus of creativity—it turns out you need both hemispheres to contribute ʻintuitiveʼ and ʻrationalʼ components to creative endeavors. Moreover, creativity is not limited to a few fortunate individuals but is a human capacity accessible to all of us. With warmth, compassion, and clarity, John Dillon tells the delightful story of how he rediscovered his creativity, and offers an accessible guide to how you can bring creativity into your life.”

–REX E. JUNG, PhD, neuroscientist and creativity researcher, Mind Research Network


“John Dillon deftly transports us on his own life journey, showing us the universal thread of creativity that runs through us all. We are all uniquely creative, all filled with that creative spark, but many of us donʼt truly believe it. Reading and working ʻThe 20-20 Creativity Solutionʼ will do much to turn that spark into a creative fire that will light the world.” –FREEBO, Artistʼs Way instructor, award-winning singer/songwriter, and former bassist for Bonnie Raitt, John Mayall, and Ringo Starr


“So often in the world of business we fail to tap our creative side in searching for a solution. I have found that creative solutions outside normal bounds are often more readily accepted and cost effective, and easier to implement. Johnʼs book is a creativity how-to for leaders. It shows us not only how to get to a creative solution but how to have fun in the process. I endorse this book heartily for all leaders.” –ANN RHOADES, CEO of People Ink and board member of JetBlue Airways and P. F. Changʼs Restaurants
