About this listen

Creativity was long thought to be a gift from the muses, a special quality of a select minority of people. Fortunately, more recent studies have debunked this belief and have shown promise for techniques to help us all boost our creative potential.

Nature gives some people a genetic edge, but nurture has a large role in developing creative genius. In this audiobook, we look at this difficult-to-define quality from all angles: where creativity comes from, lessons we can learn from creative geniuses, and how to cultivate creativity.

We hope that these techniques, and this audiobook as a whole, will help unleash your own creative self.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

So many clips collected and shared with students or anyone willing to listen! Loved that there was so much to knowledge either consolidated from other works or new information acquired. Thank you for this content.

Thoroughly enjoyed

Was looking for something to help/inspire me to get creative again, and this definitely did the job. Although some of the findings seem a bit questionable, the topics covered here are def worth thinking about. Recommended.

Great compilation

It's put across like a parent talking to a baby 👶 and very generic, (maybe that's just the way I found it) there are some interesting parts, so if you can live with the way it's put over then probably worth a listen.

Not much new here!
