Over the years, psychologists and neuroscientists have attempted to put creative people under a microscope, but the creative process has long defied attempts to be neatly categorized.  Creative personality types are difficult to pin down largely because they exhibit a complex series of traits, behaviors, skills, environments, and emotions, and it is this easy adaptability that gives them the freedom to create novel ideas and products. Inspired by their viral Huffington Post article “18 Things Highly Creative People Do Differently,” which garnered over 5 million views in one week, positive psychology expert Scott Barry Kaufman and Huffington Post psychology writer Carolyn Gregoire explore how we are WIRED TO CREATE: Unraveling the Mysteries of the Creative Mind. Combining the latest scientific research with case studies of artists and innovators throughout history, the book shines a light on the practices and habits of mind that promote creative thinking.
