In his new book, New York Times best-selling author Jonah Lehrer takes a deeper look into what defines creativity, and more importantly how it is achieved. Challenging the classic theories of an all-powerful gift possessed by the lucky few, Lehrer explains it is a skill that everyone has, but we can all learn to use more effectively. He points out that daydreaming, travel and even drinking help nurture the creative flow and foster unique solutions. Whether you are in a so-called creative field or not, “creativity is our natural state”, and it is something that we should all embrace.
