It's human nature to think a certain way, act a certain way. But, when Mr. Unger puts those thoughts and actions into words that make you laugh at your own conformity to life . . . well, you start to ask yourself things about why you do the things you do? why do you always go with the mainstream? why do your actions seem ordinary instead of extraordinary? His innate ability to make you laugh at your shortcomings in your creative thought processes really gets your creative juices flowing
Don't skip the introduction to this little book or you will likely miss the perspective you'll need to appreciate it. The unusual format of bullet lists, no more than three or four per page, and a couple of short summary paragraphs scattered throughout each chapter, make for quick reading and easy remembering. Unger takes a tongue-in-cheek approach to stating the obvious; at least what is obvious to geniuses. He assumes his readers are geniuses, of course, and that adds to the enjoyment

I suppose it only makes sense that if you are going to write a book on how to be a genius in five minutes or less, you should also write the book in a manner that fits the title. So when I picked up my copy at the bookstore, the impact began before I even had the cover opened, and then magnified when I started to read it.
Gary's book, "How To Be A Creative Genius (in five minutes or less)" is a great catch-you-off-guard book.
Steven Lewis
I did enjoy the format of the book. Good mix of bulleted items and 'de facto" points makes the pacing of the book easy to read. The chapter titled "Genius Dress" and "Genius Excuses" made me realize that becoming a creative genius is more a state of mind than actually having to be a genius so, as the one of the bullets instructed, I am now going to "carry more stuff than you can handle into a meeting"!
