I wanted to put everything into the book that you needed to know in order to become more creative.

I've been thinking about this stuff for so long, I was able to put it together quite simply, but it does correspond pretty much, does it? What the book says to your own experience coming up with funny stuff?

This book, John Cleese Creativity, A Short and Cheerful Guide is the best concise, I would say, discussion of what creativity is, how it works and how it can be applied.

It's just about being creative.
