summary

Claim: thinking means simplifying the world into mental "boxes" and creativity means changing those simplifications rather than inventing isolated ideas. Uses vivid thought experiments (rainbow colors, Acropolis columns), corporate case studies (Sony missed the iPod, Mastercard missed PayPal), product contrast (Gillette blades = incremental innovation), and one measurable example: Philips: health = 1/3 sales, 2/3 profit. Emphasizes induction vs deduction and the practical rule creativity = change the simplification.
