That sounded umm... well... melodramatic at best.
Reality is though, I really loved the book Emotional Design by Donald A. Norman. When I first read the book, I did a post on my learning blog trying to articulate what his book was doing for me, but I failed. Yet again, I found that he articulated much better what I was trying too than I could. There are two sides to how we think.
- We need freedom, safety and low stress in order to develop breadth to our thinking
- We need restriction, fear, and high stress in order to bring depth(Focus) to our thinking
The former is exceptional for generating massive amounts of creative ideas and novel solutions to problems. The former allows us to actually get work done.
But I guess, I will let him say it.
