"Imagine: How Creativity Works"
Listen to this audio:
Our standard definition of creativity is wrong, says Jonah Lehrer, in this interview with Steve Paulson on Wisconsin Public Radio's "to the best of our KNOWLEDGE." Creativity is not a single mode (some people have it and some don't) but a series of distinct mental processes that are fundamental traits of human nature. And the way we have traditionally gone about "being" creative is also wrong. Rather than focusing or "brainstorming" we should be daydreaming. Lehrer illustrates this with stories of Bob Dylan's writing of "Like a Rolling Stone" and the invention of the sticky note. "Creativity is the residue of time wasted." ~Albert Einstein.
