“A Kick in the Seat of the Pants.” Tape Data Media. Roger von Oech’s seasoned pep talk, the sequel to his “A Whack on the Side of the Head,” aims to boost you into the idea lane with a few well-placed verbal boots. Creativity is the topic: how to discover it, how to cultivate it, how to evaluate it and how to promote it. He defines the four stages of the creative process as explorer, artist, judge and warrior. All are essential to complete the process, he explains. The key is mental flexibility and persistence. Von Oech offers anecdotes, exercises and aphorisms to emphasize his points. It’s up to the listener to “feel” the message and move on it. Information: (714) 441-0782.
