Edward De Bono. The father of creative thinking.
Welcome to the original Edward de Bono website. Edward de Bono is regarded by many to be the leading authority in the world in the field of creative thinking and the direct teaching of thinking as a skill. He has written 62 books with translations into 37 languages and has been invited to lecture in 54 countries. He is the originator of lateral thinking which treats creativity as the behaviour of information in a self-organising information system - such as the neural networks in the brain. From such a consideration arise the deliberate and formal tools of lateral thinking, parallel thinking etc.

The Masks of God - also by Joseph Campbell - is also very good.

Re: Inspiration - name and explain yours
I almost hate to admit that very commercial things I have found inspiring beyond the quick boost.
The movie Rudy invariably pushes me to keep going when others are doubting.
The poem Invictus has always had a special meaning for me as well as Kiplings If.
I've neverdone good things
I've never done bad things
I've never done anything out of the blue

I wouldn't say this is the most inspiring thing in my life, but I really loved this lecture from Charlie Kaufman. I saw it on Sky Arts and it is definitely better if you can actually see him, but the whole thing isn't on YouTube so here's a podcast from soundcloud...

It's about so much more than screenwriting, so if you have the time give it a listen
