Download or read book Make to Know written by Lorne M. Buchman and published by Thames & Hudson. This book was released on 2022-04-27 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Make to Know: From Spaces of Uncertainty to Creative Discovery will change the way you think about creativity. The book upends popular notions of innate artistic and visionary genius and probes instead the event of discovery that happens through the act of making. In contrast to the classic tale of Michelangelo, who 'saw the angel in the stone', the artists and designers Buchman interviews for this book talk about knowing their work as they engage in the doing. Make to Know explores the revelatory nature of the creative journey itself. As Buchman weaves together the vivid stories of his multiple conversations, we learn about writers of all stripes as they confront creative spaces of uncertainty 'the blank page'; about visual artists and what they understand from the materials they encounter; about designers and architects and the iterative process of solving problems; and about actors and musicians facing the surprises of improvisational performance. Make to Know is a book that will, ultimately, open a path to your own making, and, in the end, will have significant implications for how you live. Make to Know presents a way of thinking that democratizes creativity and uncovers a process that leads to knowing both ones work and oneself. It is relevant to anyone interested in why creativity matters.

Download or read book Creativity written by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-10-13 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Although the benefits of this study to scholars are obvious, this thought-provoking mixture of scholarly and colloquial will enlighten inquisitive general readers, too.” — Library Journal (starred review) The classic study of the creative process from the bestselling author of Flow. Creativity is about capturing those moments that make life worth living. Legendary psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi (“The leading researcher into ‘flow states.’” — Newsweek) reveals what leads to these moments—be it the excitement of the artist at the easel or the scientist in the lab—so that this knowledge can be used to enrich people's lives. Drawing on nearly one hundred interviews with exceptional people, from biologists and physicists, to politicians and business leaders, to poets and artists, as well as his thirty years of research on the subject, Csikszentmihalyi uses his famous flow theory to explore the creative process. He discusses such ideas as why creative individuals are often seen as selfish and arrogant, and why the "tortured genius" is largely a myth. Most important, he explains why creativity needs to be cultivated and is necessary for the future of our country, if not the world.

Book excerpt: Discover The Quality That All Successful People Share - Creativity The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination Albert Einstein What is one of the secrets of success? Creativity! The ability to come at problems from fresh angles or come up with ideas that no one has seemingly thought of before is one of the hallmarks of all successful people. As George Bernard Shaw put it "Imagination is the beginning of creation. You imagine what you desire, you will want what you imagine, and at last, you create what you will." How can you be successful and happy if you are continually doing the same old same old? This is where creativity and imagination comes in. It is literally the key to unlocking a new world for you. But just what is creativity? If you are not a creative person by nature can you become more creative? Can you change the way you think? Not being a particularly creative person myself these are the questions I had and this little book contains the answers I found. Within its pages you will learn the following: The nature of true creativity Training methods to unlock both sides of your brain Exercises to increase blood flow to your brain (it helps!) Tips to aid abstract thinking Understanding the different kinds of creativity When Einstein was developing his ground breaking theories he would often step into the theater of his creative mind in order to imagine things he could not objectively see. This is why, to Albert Einstein, imagination is the true sign of intelligence. In order to change anything in your life you must first utilize your human capacity to imagine what is not there. Perhaps you won't have to imagine how you would perceive the world as a photon of light, as Einstein did, but the process is the same. Whatever you want to do you need to conceive of it first and learning how to utilize your creative mind is the key that will unlock this door for you.
