Why are you creative?

More about the book

In the beginning, GOD created. Hermann Vaske explores the question "Why are you creative?" through the insights of over 50 prominent creatives, including Dennis Hopper, George Bush, Mikhail Gorbachev, David Bowie, Wim Wenders, and many others. Their facsimile responses to this eternal question are interpreted and analyzed by psychologists, who delve into the minds of these individuals based on their answers. The book presents a creative potpourri that encompasses a variety of perspectives: humorous reflections, philosophical musings, economic motivations, logical reasoning, and compulsive drives. Each contributor offers a unique lens on creativity, revealing the diverse and complex nature of what drives individuals to create. This exploration not only highlights the personal experiences of these creators but also invites readers to reflect on their own creative impulses and the myriad reasons behind them.
