Intuition is the heart and engine of the creative process, intelligence beyond thought.

Michael Matthiass presents a creative process that uses intuition purposefully and consciously as what it is: the central tool of our work – the heart and engine of the ideas workshop.

When we entrust ourselves to the creative process, the ideas come. In other words: At certain moments, we need the absence of criticism, commentary, and correction. Then we experience the state of absolute presence, the blind trust in the creative side, the fearless letting go that we need for the ideas to come.

Every creative person knows that inner voice that knows exactly that it isn't "it" yet. Or, quite the opposite: that intuitive knowledge of coherence and harmony that can't yet be put into words, let alone argued.

Michael Matthiass's book choreographs the interplay of analytical and intuitive thinking. It depicts the interplay of the associative network with the strict rationality of consciousness. It paves the way for you to reach the most precious state there is in creative work: flow. The state of absolute presence—and blind trust in your creative side.
