What if your next great idea wasn't waiting for you, but something you could learn to cultivate daily? That's what Creative Intelligence offers, a specially selected course from the Art of Learning Leadership Academy (AOLLA), founded on 13 books that show you how to tap into your creativity regularly, generate ideas, and turn them into reality.
This course isn't just about creative thinking. It's about creative action. And it's based entirely on the rigorously practical Bookish Notes from 13 powerful reads:
- What Do You Do with an Idea? by Kobi Yamada
- Steal Like an Artist by Austin Kleon
- How to Get Ideas by Jack Foster
- A Technique for Producing Ideas by James Webb Young
- The Idea Hunter by Andy Boynton and Bill Fischer
- The MacGyver Secret by Lee David Zlotoff & Colleen Seifert
- Creativity Rules by Tina Seelig
- The Business Idea Factory by Andrii Sedniev
- The Imagineering Process by Louis J. Prosperi
- Bright Idea Box by Jag Randhawa
- How to Fly a Horse by Kevin Ashton
- Feck Perfuction by James Victore and Danielle LaPorte
- The Innovation Stack by Jim McKelvey
What You’ll Learn Inside Creative Intelligence
This isn't another esoteric creativity course with wishy-washy theories. No, Creative Intelligence offers practical wisdom in five steps of evolution:
1. Spark the Idea
You'll get to know how to let yourself begin from What Do You Do with an Idea? and Steal Like an Artist. You'll get to know about the use of curiosity, self-acceptance that you're a little odd, and nurturing even the smallest sparks of inspiration.
2. Fuel the Mindset
Books like Feck Perfuction, How to Fly a Horse, and The Business Idea Factory help dismantle perfectionism, fear, and the myth of the lone genius. Creativity, you’ll find, is democratic—it belongs to those willing to take consistent, courageous action.
3. Master the Process
A Technique for Producing Ideas and The MacGyver Secret show you systems and rituals that make ideas pop out. Either through intentional incubation or unconscious problem-solving, you'll learn to approach ideation as a skill you can master.
4. Build the Ideas
From The Imagineering Process and Creativity Rules, you’ll learn to prototype, play, iterate, and test. Creation doesn’t happen in a vacuum—it’s a dynamic, iterative process that’s messy, full of questions, and deeply rewarding.
5. Share the Work
Books like Bright Idea Box, The Idea Hunter, and The Innovation Stack explore how ideas grow when shared and built upon. You’ll see how creativity becomes innovation when it addresses real-world problems and serves others—especially underserved markets.
Why This Course Stands Out
Most creativity courses focus on inspiration. Creative Intelligence focuses on implementation. It’s designed for professionals, entrepreneurs, and change-makers who want to:
- Make creativity part of their daily lives.
- Solve real problems in novel ways.
- Build original ideas into meaningful work.
- Reframe failure as a path to insight and progress.
- Take creative risks with confidence.
With Bookish Notes as your study partner, you'll get structured insights, key points, case studies, and implementation tools gleaned from all 13 books—so you don't just read about creativity, you live it.
