Every Creative Story Is Different.

What You Discover When You Look At Creativity From The Perspective Of The Brain Is That It Is Universal. We're All Creative All Of The Time, We Can't Help But Be Creative.

We Need To Be Willing To Risk Embarrassment, Ask Silly Questions, Surround Ourselves With People Who Don't Know What We're Talking About. We Need To Leave Behind The Safety Of Our Expertise.

It Is Ironic But True: The One Reality Science Cannot Reduce Is The Only Reality We Will Ever Know. This Is Why We Need Art. By Expressing Our Actual Experience, The Artist Reminds Us That Our Science Is Incomplete, That No Map Of Matter Will Ever Explain The Immateriality Of Our Consciousness.

We Travel Because We Need To, Because Distance And Difference Are The Secret Tonic Of Creativity. When We Get Home, Home Is Still The Same. But Something In Our Mind Has Been Changed, And That Changes Everything. Several New Science Papers Suggest That Getting Away Is An Essential Habit Of Effective Thinking. When We Escape From The Place We Spend Most Of Our Time, The Mind Is Suddenly Made Aware Of All Those Errant Ideas We'd Previously Suppressed. We Start Thinking About Obscure Possibilitiebsthat Never Would Have Occurred To Us If We'd Stayed Home.

...new Ideas Are Merely Several Old Thoughts That Occur At The Exact Same Time.
