Summary:
"Is it possible to make sense of something as elusive as creativity? Based on psychologist Scott Barry Kaufman's groundbreaking research and Carolyn Gregoire's popular article in the Huffington Post called "18 Things That
Creative
People Do Differently." A glimpse inside the "messy minds" of highly
creative
people. Revealing findings in neuroscience and psychology, along with the examples of artists and innovators throughout history, the book examines the practices and habits of
mind
that promote
creative
thinking. The authors untangle a series of paradoxes, like mindfulness and daydreaming, seriousness and play, openness and sensitivity, and solitude and collaboration, to show that it is by embracing contradictions that we can tap into our deepest creativity. The ten attributes and habits of highly
creative
people: Imaginative Play, Passion, Daydreaming, Solitude, Intuition, Openness to Experience, Mindfulness, Sensitivity, Turning Adversity into Advantage and Thinking Differently. Insights from the lives of Pablo Picasso, Frida Kahlo, Marcel Proust, David Foster Wallace, Thomas Edison, Josephine Baker, John Lennon, Michael Jackson, musician Thom Yorke, chess champion Josh Waitzkin, video-game designer Shigeru Miyamoto, and many other
creative
luminaries."--Provided by publisher.
