These 5 amazing books are resources, ideas, and the epitome of creativity.
Hola Folks!
We often hear the word creativity and think of Da Vinci, Van Gogh, Picasso, and more but is that all there is to creativity. Today, we see creativity not just in arts but as a whole skill that takes one outside the box, literally.
Extreme points, when linked through imagination, innovation, and unique perception, combine to create purportedly impossible creation, that is what creativity is! Unique thinking abilities and implication of thought complete creativity. One can build better-thinking abilities by lending the mind with intriguing and all-dimensional exposures. A proper resource propels and ignites our minds with intuitive and limitless space to dwell on.
Creativity at its first place is "your thing", something you connect with, stuff you fancy, or the indifferent perception your mind is filled with. Knowledge, information, experiences, motivation, and a clear vision are the most importantly required shards to build a creative mind, and these amenities are resourced by books.
Several books work as a powerful influence on the readers to think beyond and build their thoughtfulness. Explorations without deliberations are the best key to head towards creativity, I am sure the books for this week will let you dive and explore the unexplored areas.

2. The Old Man And The Sea by Ernest Hemingway
Hemingway came up with this novel as a writer who regained his reputation.
It's a brilliant book that seems to be the simplest of all stories but its eccentric morals make it a great success, it is undoubtedly a lot more than being a fisherman's tale. It has deep themes like identity, loss, shortcomings, and desire. There's a lot held by this slim novella, it talks about struggle and perseverance, life and death, and a very significant moral.

4. A River in the Trees by Jacqueline O'Mahony
Here, we see a creative plot that added a different dimension to the story and blended literature uniquely with its literary arts. This novel is a spectacular weaving of the simultaneous story of the two women that are portrayed in a way a parallel universe must have worked! It seamlessly attaches the thread between the two women, who are related by blood. There's a century that separates them. Ellen and Hannah are the two characters and the novel revolves around their life, this novel is open to similarities and differences being perceived by readers as there are no deliberations in the approach of the author.

5. The Spark And The Grind by Erik Wahl
This novel breaks the most believed norms that limit creativity, it brings together odds and constructs a unique approach and technique to think and grow. The pivoting element remains to be the spark, sudden enlightenment, or inspiration that may give immensely innovative ideas. There is a very important element that completes the motive of creativity and is also a cause of creative outcomes, that is the grind. It portrays that creativity, innovation, and productiveness can not exist with the spark alone, there has to be a grind to let it prevail. The spark and grind coexist and build a balance to outsource credibility. It talks about the wisdom, reasoning, and understanding of various artists, scientists, philosophers, and entrepreneurs. A highly powerful and convincing novel that elucidates the art of turning a grind to be a positive aspect wonderfully.
