Beskrivning

Creativity is usually seen as a good thing, but why? The Creativity Advantage first offers an overview of creativity studies with an emphasis on the little-discussed benefits of being creative. These include how creativity can lead to self-insight, help people heal, forge connections with others, inspire drive, and enable people to leave behind a meaningful legacy. Written in an engaging style and illustrated with interesting anecdotal material, this book offers a new perspective on creativity scholarship that can serve as an introduction to the field for newcomers or as a way to encourage new avenues for research.

Recensioner i media

'No one, it seems to me, understands the creative process more deeply or writes of it more revealingly than James Kaufman. In The Creativity Advantage, he brilliantly imparts that process to anyone working in any facet of life where creativity is essential. In other words, to just about all of us. This is an important book.' Robert Olen Butler, Pulitzer Prize laureate in fiction
