I agree that it is not the most scientific, in-depth article, but I've seen these themes echoed elsewhere by those who have studied innovators. At any rate, I find for myself that it is good to review the basics from time to time. When I read the blog, I thought "Hmmm...how often to I "frame shift" or think in terms of "systems". Not for everyone I agree, but a good reminder for me. If you are looking for something on the topic that is a lot more "scientific", check out "Iconoclast: A Neuroscientist Reveals How to Think Differently" by Gregory Berns Ph.D. It's really quite good, and I found the appendix on how different drugs effect the brain to be interesting (where he basically shows that if you are looking to drugs to help you think differently/better, you might want to give it some more thought.)
