As i mentioned it <i>does</i> work. And it is a good guideline to look at when you&#x27;re stuck. But it&#x27;s not the fundamental solution. TRIZ teaches you to emulate creativity. The whole idea is &quot;how can an even ordinary person come up with creative ideas?&quot; My point was that&#x27;s all fine and it&#x27;s good to learn that skill, but it would be better if you shoot for actually &quot;becoming a creative person&quot; instead of &quot;ordinary person coming up with creative ideas&quot;. I suggested that book above because I found it helpful from that point of view.
