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.

​
The website contains the terms of the dictionary for a quick reference, but download the complete book for 171 pages of creativity driven content that tells the story of divergent, creative, innovative and design thinking and how it all comes together to form your creative flow!
