?There is no single definition of creativity. It is as wide-ranging as the people who seek it: writers, painters, musicians, actors — indeed anyone who desires a richer, more rewarding life. Many consider it inaccessible — limited to gifted artists and celebrities. But as the extraordinary contributors to this book show, it is really everyone’s birthright, too often shoved to the recesses of our psyches by the demands of everyday life. From the vibrant naturalist and poet Diane Ackerman, to musical theorist Don Campbell, to inspirational author SARK, these talented contributors guide us through the creative process with clarity and insight. They remind us that inspiration is always available to those willing to realize the power and possibility of their true creative being.

Quotes

    Using our imagination and expressing our creativity can alleviate stress, improve our health, and bring joy to our relationships.
  • relaxxa2414has quoted9 years ago
    Studies have shown that people who live their lives participating in what they believe to be creative behavior are mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually healthier than those who repress and try to control.
  • relaxxa2414has quoted9 years ago
    The truth does not ride on a clever response, but on something immediate, irrational, torn directly from the soul. That’s why the answer to a koan can’t be figured out, but must arise from the soul like an instinctual cry of love or rage or whoopee. That answer is the soul of creativity. It arises, like the insights and ideas of small children, from an undivided mind.
