Philosopher's Notes on Carolyn Gregoire's Books

LockedPhilosopher's Notes

Wired to Create

by Scott Barry Kaufman and Carolyn Gregoire

This book started out as a blog post by Carolyn Gregoire based on Scott Barry Kaufman’s work that went viral: 18 Things Highly Creative People Do Differently. Scott is one of the world’s leading creativity researchers. Carolyn is a senior writer at the Huffington Post. Together, they wrote a great little book on the mysteries of the creative mind. Big Ideas we explore include: the fact that creativity is a messy business (embrace complexity!), the power of walking for daydreaming (all the cool philosophers do it!), creating a nice home for your genius to visit (she’s got the magic!), creating again and again (and again), unitask rather than multitask (unless you want to atrophy the best part of your brain), and STAMP your life with your own personality (but only if you want to be great … and happy!).

Quote

The creative person is constantly seeking to discover himself, to remodel his own identity, and to find meaning in the universe through what he creates.
