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
Each chapter ends with a "Try This" exercise built directly from the research - because reading about divergent thinking won't make you more divergent. Practicing it will. If you've ever been told you're "not a creative person," this book is the evidence that says otherwise.
