Apparently, a lot of their creative ideas come from "cross-pollinating" brands, industries, or even old ideas. Personally, when I'm stuck on a particular project, I find it useful to step away from where I'm working and take a walk. I find that by temporarily disassociating myself from the work, when I return to it, I have an explosion of ideas that help me finish my task.

I know some people believe they get their best ideas when working under pressure.

I used to think that way myself. But later I found that though I can usually finish tasks under time pressure (Parkinson’s law?), I can’t be as creative as I want in such situations.

I especially like insight #8. I've frequently marveled at new fields and endeavors that arose from the intersection of two seemingly unrelated fields. In my writing and work I've always felt that I've needed to achieve some depth of knowledge before I could proceed and after gathering ideas needed time to evaluate them. I know some people believe they get their best ideas when working under pressure. That just isn't true for me. Thanks for sharing this amazing book. I especially like insight #8.
