Michael Kelleher, Nurse Lecturer, University Campus Suffolk
This is a difficult book to describe once you have read it. Not only is it a good read but it also allows you to question your thinking and gets you to play with the parts of your mind that may have been dormant since childhood. Ted Falconer takes you with him on a journey of reflection and self discovery. This has been a wonderful journey and has wetted my appetite to explore and harness my creative intelligence.
The rules of Non-Aristotelian Thinking challenges the reader to reflect on their own thinking patterns which then allow the rest of the book to open up and make creative intelligence achievable. The philosophy of freedom chapter has a powerful message for society today. The examples from history of creative intelligence feed the readers appetite to read on and explore more. Issues such as the open and shut mind puts into context some difficulties associated with original thinking. The use of poetry within the text allows the reader to reflect and explore the vision of these poems.
This book is one that student nurses should read during their pre-registration course. The development of nursing depends on creativity. This book will challenge and develop the inquisitive mind to explore the brains potential. This will help to transform knowledge to skills that will have direct benefit to patient and health care services.
