I recently bought a book called "ThinkerToys a handbook of creative-thinking techniques". Someone suggested it to me, I haven't had a chance to look at it yet though. But I heard good things about it.
So i am looking for a good read as a beginner that is a good guide for creativity as an entrepreneur!
Books that look interesting so far:
- The Idea Hunter: How to Find the Best Ideas and Make them Happen
- Disciplined Dreaming: A Proven System to Drive Breakthrough Creativity
- Little Bets: How Breakthrough Ideas Emerge from Small Discoveries
Do you know any other good books on this topic?
What book would be the best to start with?

If you're looking to read a book to help you with finding an idea, stop. I promise you, those books will not help you as much as you think. Just look around for things that annoy you or annoy other people and look for solutions to those problems. Then you can go from there and try to make a business around said solution. Doesn't matter how 'uncreative' you think you are. Unless you are trying to write a script, screenplay or cartoon, then those books are unnecessary.
"Imagine: How Creativity Works". In this book you will basically learn why it is important to surround yourself with different people from different fields with different interests and different perspectives. The more you put yourself out there in the real world the more creative you'll get. Creativity is not something you find in your brain, it's something that gets triggered by you putting your brain out there and experience reality.

When people get together and they share their ideas with each other - new ideas are created... Their ideas have sex and give birth to new baby ideas.
Our ideas are mating right now on this forum.
Here is a link to a great video which explains where those great ideas and 'Eureka' moments come from:

He (Steven Johnson) has a book, which I do not own and have not read, but it may be useful to you if it is a book you are after:
