Carolyn Gregoire and Scott Barry Kaufman stopped by NYC to discuss their new book "Wired to Create: Unraveling the Mysteries of the Creative Mind".
Based on psychologist Scott Barry Kaufman’s groundbreaking research and Carolyn Gregoire’s popular article in the Huffington Post, Wired to Create offers a glimpse inside the “messy minds” of highly creative people. Scott Barry Kaufman and Carolyn Gregoire discuss the latest findings in neuroscience and psychology, along with engaging examples of artists and innovators throughout history and the practices and habits of mind that promote creative thinking. Kaufman and Gregoire untangle a series of paradoxes— like mindfulness and daydreaming, seriousness and play, openness and sensitivity, and solitude and collaboration – to show that it is by embracing our own contradictions that we are able to tap into our deepest creativity.
