David Bowie was a rock star, actor, style icon, artist, entrepreneur, father, friend, idol for creative people and free thinkers, and one of the most successful musicians the world has ever known. Bowie was a deeply creative soul, but creativity is not reserved exclusively for artists, or for a lucky few. How To Think Like David Bowie offers an entertaining insight into the habits, techniques, and personal traits that Bowie cultivated, in order to shake up conventions and unleash his creativity. Studying his creative process allows us to enrich our personal and professional lives, and find our own ‘inner Bowie’, so that we too can become a brighter, bolder version of ourselves.
