Review: The Committee of Sleep: How Artists, Scientists, and Athletes Use Dreams for Creative Problem-Solving-- and How You Can Too

The Committee of Sleep: How Artists, Scientists, and Athletes Use Dreams for Creative Problem-Solving-- and How You Can Too by Deirdre Barrett
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This book was referred in 'Why We Sleep: Unlocking the Power of Sleep and Dreams' by Matthew Walker. 'Why We Sleep' is an exceptional book which incorporates great advice referring to advances in sleep science. This gave me the impression that this book quite possibly also would refer interesting sleep science. However, that is not the case - this book does have many interesting stories on how creative work came about from dreams.

There are stories about artists, actors, writers, scientists and even Mahatma Gandhi. This book discusses how their dreams evolved into creative work such as paintings, movies, scientific theories etc.

For these stories, this book is still work a read - though it is too much of the same thing.
