About this listen
The classic study of the creative process from the national best-selling author of Flow, Creativity is about capturing those moments that make life worth living. Legendary psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi reveals what leads to these moments - be it the excitement of the artist at the easel or the scientist in the lab - so that this knowledge can be used to enrich people's lives. Drawing on nearly 100 interviews with exceptional people, from biologists and physicists, to politicians and business leaders, to poets and artists, as well as his 30 years of research on the subject, Csikszentmihalyi uses his famous flow theory to explore the creative process. He discusses such ideas as why creative individuals are often seen as selfish and arrogant, and why the "tortured genius" is largely a myth. Most important, he explains why creativity needs to be cultivated and is necessary for the future of our country, if not the world.

Excellent Creativity Book!
I greatly enjoy the physical book so I got the audiobook to read along with as I enjoy excellent books this way! It’s helping me with the research for my upcoming book. The book is very deeply researched, understandable and thoughtful book on Creativity! One of my favourites on this topic!

Sound Examination on Creativity
A good perspective from science to art but insights were rather known to me. Great for someone who is just starting out in a creative endeavour and wishes to assess thought process against our successful creators.

Tedious book describing a weak study.
Even the first chapter was almost entirely devoted to a defense of the study in unneccessarily dense text. The remainder was dull and the conclusions drawn from such a study are not very useful. The narrator was not very good.
