I would suggest Creativity: The Psychology of Discovery and Invention by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi [1]
I have not read the book yet but it is on my reading list. I'm currently going through "Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience" [2] by the same author and it is illuminating to see the author examine a simple process such as enjoying a walk and reveal the intricate interplay of our consciousness, attention and self.
