Like Sheila Davis' other books, the Idea Book offers a detailed and valuable toolset for any songwriter, particularly in the areas of creative process and idea generation. Most importantly, it is one of only two books that attempt to relate personality profiles to styles of songwriting. This book makes mention of the Myers-Briggs personality types but does not really use them specifically. Davis instead uses an alternate but functional system of describing these preferences. The one songwriting book which does specifically relate the well-known Myers-Briggs profiles to songwriting is Songcrafters' Coloring Book: The Essential Guide to Effective and Successful Songwriting. That book, along with "The Songwriters Idea Book" make a powerful combination for helping any songwriter move forward along his or her chosen path. The concept of a viewing songwriting through the lens of different personality types is powerful and revealing. The books that offer that perspective are essential additions to the songwriter's bookshelf.Get more detail about The Songwriters Idea Book: 40 Strategies to Excite Your Imagination, Help You Design Distinctive Songs, and Keep Your Creative Flow.
