- catalog abstract ""The Toolbox for the Mind takes an interdisciplinary approach to creativity by drawing on disciplines such as physics, history, biology, and chaos theory.

By emphasizing this philosophy, Denton shows how to increase creativity and turn out more innovative products, better processes, and new organizational structures."--Jacket.".
