About this product

Product Information

Discover the ten things highly creative people do differently. Is it possible to make sense of something as elusive as creativity? Based on psychologist Scott Barry Kaufman's groundbreaking research and Carolyn Gregoire's popular article in the Huffington Post, Wired to Create offers a glimpse inside the "messy minds" of highly creative people. Revealing the latest findings in neuroscience and psychology, along with engaging examples of artists and innovators throughout history, the book shines a light on the practices and habits of mind that promote creative thinking. Kaufman and Gregoire untangle a series of paradoxes-- like mindfulness and daydreaming, seriousness and play, openness and sensitivity, and solitude and collaboration - to show that it is by embracing our own contradictions that we are able to tap into our deepest creativity. Each chapter explores one of the ten attributes and habits of highly creative people: Imaginative Play * Passion * Daydreaming * Solitude * Intuition * Openness to Experience * Mindfulness * Sensitivity * Turning Adversity into Advantage * Thinking Differently With insights from the work and lives of Pablo Picasso, Frida Kahlo, Marcel Proust, David Foster Wallace, Thomas Edison, Josephine Baker, John Lennon, Michael Jackson, musician Thom Yorke, chess champion Josh Waitzkin, video-game designer Shigeru Miyamoto, and many other creative luminaries, Wired to Create helps us better understand creativity - and shows us how to enrich this essential aspect of our lives.

Praise for Scott Barry Kaufman's previous book, Ungifted : " Ungifted is a virtuoso book that gracefully weaves science, psychology, and the author's personal experience into a powerful argument for valuing the cognitive strengths of all students, particularly those sidelined in the past by short-sighted assumptions about the limits of their potential." -Steve Silberman, correspondent, Wired magazine "A warmly human and coolly scientific survey of both the reductive and the liberating fruits of two centuries of cognitive research." - The Scientist "A convincing-and moving-case for the great potential of even an 'ordinary' mind." - Parade, "With cutting-edge science and timeless wisdom, Carolyn Gregoire and Scott Barry Kaufman shine a light on the habits, practices and techniques that can help us tap into our deepest creativity." --Arianna Huffington Praise for Scott Barry Kaufman's previous book, Ungifted : " Ungifted is a virtuoso book that gracefully weaves science, psychology, and the author's personal experience into a powerful argument for valuing the cognitive strengths of all students, particularly those sidelined in the past by short-sighted assumptions about the limits of their potential." --Steve Silberman, correspondent, Wired magazine "A warmly human and coolly scientific survey of both the reductive and the liberating fruits of two centuries of cognitive research." -- The Scientist "A convincing--and moving--case for the great potential of even an 'ordinary' mind." -- Parade
