Publisher's Summary

Creativity was long thought to be a gift from the muses, a special quality of a select minority of people. Fortunately, more recent studies have debunked this belief and have shown promise for techniques to help us all boost our creative potential.

Nature gives some people a genetic edge, but nurture has a large role in developing creative genius. In this audiobook, we look at this difficult-to-define quality from all angles: where creativity comes from, lessons we can learn from creative geniuses, and how to cultivate creativity.

We hope that these techniques, and this audiobook as a whole, will help unleash your own creative self.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Shockingly unremarkable and shallow.

I would have thought that Scientific America would have had more credibility but this is neither academic nor enlightened. It appears to be a complete work of speculation and faulty conclusions. They have not defined their terms and becomes opinion based on shotty thought processes. It looks like the worst of “publish or perish” publications.
