How To Spark Creativity by Wisdom University
Most people think of creativity as something they either have or don’t. That’s Creativity Myth No. 1.
You have something in common with Einstein, Michelangelo, Steve Jobs, Stephen Spielberg, and any famous thinker, inventor, or artist that ever lived. Do you know what it is?
It’s Creativity. The same spark that inspired the Theory of Relativity, the Sistine Chapel frescoes, the Apple Mac, and Jaws resides in you.
But here’s another thing you may have in common with them. That spark can go cold and might only be summoned again with great difficulty.
What’s the difference between you and these creative geniuses? They seem to have a way of tapping into it at will.
Or do they?
This is what Einstein had to say about his creative process:
“A new idea comes suddenly and in a rather intuitive way. But intuition is nothing but the outcome of earlier intellectual experience.”
The Nobel Prize-winning physicist understood something about creativity that most of us don’t. That aha! moment is only a small part of it.
He used something called “combinatory play” to come up with his ideas on the Universe’s foundations.
This involved looking at the things he already knew in a different light. Then, he’d give this information the space to come together in unique and unusual ways.
You may be saying while that method worked for Einstein and it may work for someone else, it won’t work for you.
You’d be right… and wrong. One of the things this book will teach you is that there is no single path to creativity. In this book, you are about to discover:
- Why you are a creative genius and how you can harness creativity’s life-altering potential
- 7 questions to reveal your creative strengths… even if they lie in “non-traditional” areas
- How to unlock the gateway to a dynamic creative process with 6 transformative techniques making “creative block” a thing of the past.
- The astonishing plasticity of the brain and five ingenious hacks to reshape it and seize your creative goals (and no, they don’t have to be complicated - you can easily blend them into your daily routines)
- The surprising nexus between intelligence and creativity and why smart doesn’t equal creative
- The 4 steps you actually already know to supercharge your creative spark… (do Step 3 and you’ll be on your way to forming a lifelong habit)
- The secrets to effortlessly vanquishing physical and mental blocks that thwart creativity… and yes… they really aren’t that difficult
- Four perks you never knew about creativity… including its untapped power as a stress reliever
…and much, much more.
Your creativity does not exist in isolation and neither do the techniques suggested in this book. They are a practical guide, designed to be incorporated into your daily life.
That’s why you will find seven exercises to help you nurture your creative capacity and build your creative muscles.
Not everyone can be an Einstein, a Michelangelo, a Jobs, or a Spielberg, but tapping into that innate creativity is something everyone can do.
Perhaps you don’t think you’re smart enough to be creative. You are.
Maybe you think you don’t have the time to be creative. You do.
And If you’re wondering whether you can overcome the obstacles on your way to creativity? You will.
This book will show you how.
