Defining New Ideas is vocabulary book centered in divergent thought. That is your right brain, the creative one who dreams and creates, innovates, designs and produces your ideas. Divergent thought is powered by your imagination, driven by your passionate curiosity, and executed by your talent from the right side of the brain. And then plans are implemented by convergent thought - the left (rational and analytical) side.
