The Creativity Choice is OUT!
Today is publication day for a very long project; it translates the science of what comes between an idea and the finished product, to help you get from there to here.

What do we know when we know a creative person? This is one of the oldest questions in
#creativity
studies. We have learned much. About traits of creative individuals (openness to experience! and beyond!), their cognitive
#abilities
,
#values
and
#motivation
. And we are ready to ask more questions.
