Recommendation

If creativity really depended on inexplicable inspiration or wild bouts of divine genius, it would hardly ever happen. In reality, creative work has much more mundane explanations. In a helpful, down-to-earth article, Mark Manson explodes the myths about creativity and offers actionable, research-based recommendations for making creativity your own. 

Take-Aways

  • Creative people don’t usually invent new, unique ideas – they renew the old.
  • Create by adding value to existing ideas or elements, or to undervalued material.
  • To discover existing, undervalued ideas, study your field.
