<p>"Creativity is found in the smallest of gestures and the greatest of monuments. It is found in the works that inspire generations and within deep personal insights. It is captured in beginnings and in ends and everywhere in between. Creativity is universal, unbounded and available to all of us. All it asks is that we honour it with courage, compassion, honesty, and humility. For while it is within you it is not yours alone." ~ Belinda Tobin</p><p>Creativity is more than just artistic expression. It is a life-giving force, a universal power that shapes how we understand ourselves, solve problems, and connect with others. It is central to our individual wellbeing and the health of the world in which we live. But what exactly is creativity? And how does it work?</p><p>To answer these questions, <em>Understanding Creativity</em> investigates the phenomenon from multiple perspectives, delving into the people, processes and systems that support it. It explores creativity as an embedded energy, present in body and mind, and as a concept ingrained in both science and spirituality.</p><p>Discover how creativity is both an exciting philosophy and a challenging practice. Learn about the courage it takes to create, the risks and rewards of innovation, and the profound impact creativity has on individuals, communities and the planet we call home.</p><p>However, far from looking at creativity through rose-coloured glasses, <em>Understanding Creativity</em> also considers how this power can be used to corrupt, exploit and embed inequities. It shows that creativity comes with no moral codes but is compliant with the user's intentions and constrained only by the ethical context within which it operates.</p><p>This book doesn't just explain creativity, it inspires you to embrace it as a way of being and to become an informed consumer of the plethora of products and services that offer to increase your creative ability. Whether you're an artist, entrepreneur, educator, or someone looking to live more authentically, <em>Understanding Creativity</em> will show you that creativity is an infinitive, a limitless power available for all, and all you need to do is begin.</p>
