I really, really believe that good designers are engaged people- always reading and looking around for both inspiration and motivation (not necessarily the same thing.) Fast company- both the magazine and the website- have proven to be good resources for me. Every October, they print a 'Masters of Design' issue, and I have been busy perusing the past few years' issues...

The October 2008 issue has a great article (which you can read here) entitled 'Rewiring the Creative Mind.' It takes a scientific approach at describing what is necessary to come up with good, new ideas- I highly recommend reading it.
