In this episode I focus on two aspects of creativity, making the points that creativity is a dynamic dance between novelty and routing and that creativity is a multi-phased process that requires the use of multiple mindsets and divergent cognitive functions. 

I discuss the hemisphere hypothesis and suggest that we can keep our aging minds nimble and  adaptive if we find a collaborative balance between our experiential mind and our conceptual mind. We fall prey to limiting ageist stereotypes, however, when we allow the conceptual mind to dominate and get caught up in restrictive ideas  and stultifying routinesl
