Wired to Create

Unraveling the Mysteries of the Creative Mind
Book • 2015
Wired to Create offers a glimpse inside the 'messy minds' of highly creative people.

Based on Scott Barry Kaufman’s groundbreaking research and Carolyn Gregoire’s popular article in the Huffington Post, the book reveals the latest findings in neuroscience and psychology.

It explores the practices and habits of mind that promote creative thinking, such as mindfulness and daydreaming, seriousness and play, openness and sensitivity, and solitude and collaboration.

The authors identify ten attributes and habits of highly creative minds, including imaginative play, passion, daydreaming, solitude, intuition, openness to experience, mindfulness, sensitivity, turning adversity into advantage, and thinking differently.

By embracing these contradictions, individuals can tap into their deepest creativity.
