Overview
Creativity isn't a gift you're born with. It's a skill you can train. For a century, psychology and neuroscience have been quietly answering the question most creativity books only romanticize: what actually makes a mind more creative - and how do you build that capacity on purpose? How to Be Creative? pulls together the real research - from J.P. Guilford's divergent thinking experiments to Roger Beaty's brain-network imaging studies - and turns it into a practical, evidence-based training manual. Inside, you'll learn:
- Why generating ideas and judging them are two different mental operations - and why doing both at once kills your best ideas
- The four-stage creative process behind every real breakthrough, and how to use "incubation" on purpose
- Why functional fixedness quietly blocks obvious solutions - and the one-line trick that breaks it
- Research-backed techniques: SCAMPER, brainwriting, forced analogies, and structured constraint
- How environment, sleep, group dynamics, and daily habits shape creative output over months, not minutes
