YOUR BRAIN ON CREATIVITY
While doing my research on creativity and innovation, I read the great article “Your Brain on Creativity” by Grant Hilary Brenner, a New York-based psychiatrist and an expert on mental health, relationships, and self-care and wellness. The article was published in Psychology Today in February 2018. I would like to share part of that article with my dear readers:.
“Creativity is amazing. Play is amazing. Being original is amazing. Amazing, astounding, thrilling, asymptotic. Divergence opens up possibilities, creating the flexibility to be extraordinary, to stand out from the crowd and enliven others with a spellbinding display of wit and artistry. When attuned to the environment, when humor is working well and the timing is right, the ideas flow… with art which speaks to the zeitgeist, capturing the ineffable in an ineffable way… creativity leads to deep communion and empathy.
