Thinking Differently: Thinking Beyond The Boundaries

JavyWG — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 22:59:50 +0000

This website is dedicated to my research into the creative process, creative thinking, and creative insight. My soon to be released book is currently titled “The Power of Thinking Differently”. In it I do my best to present my findings, conclusions, and original ideas in a non-technical language (hopefully).

It is a guide to the science and myth about how the mind works when we are not being creative, and how it works when we are. It covers creativity from a broad spectrum of activities including art, business, technology, scientific advancement, education, community affairs, personal development, and the deepening of both a personal and cultural sense of meaning.

Most of all it is a guide to the creative process.

I hope you find this information useful. Questions, comments, and suggestions are greatly appreciated!
