Sometimes you can take a simple idea and write a whole book about it and it have the book be incredibly successful. The War of Art does this. The idea is that resistance is the enemy of creativity and beating it is the way to become creatively productive.

The topic is explored from a number of angles and by the time you finish it (which will be quick, it's a short book) you should be motivated enough to get off the couch and write, paint, code or do whatever is art for you.

It's worth a read and I'm rating it highly because even though the topic is simple and the book is short, reading it is a low price to pay if it's enough to bump you out of a rut and up to the next level of creativity.
