Mitchell Ditkoff’s Awake At The Wheel: Getting your Great Ideas Rolling (in an Uphill World) is a book about the creative process and how you can use the creative process to develop your ideas and bring them to fruition. Ditkoff wrote this book to help “close the gap between thought and action”, and I think this book accomplishes that goal.
This book is divided in two 3 sections. The first section is a fable about a Neanderthal name Og and his struggles with being consumed with a breakthrough idea and his struggles to make it a reality. I found the use of the fable a refreshing change makes for an easy read while doing a good job of communicating the authors ideas.
The second section of the book outlines 12 Best Practices for developing and manifesting your inspired ideas.
The third section of the book is a creative thinking “toolbox” that outlines 35 tools you can use to develop, nurture, and manifest your own breakthrough ideas.
I thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommend this book!
