More about the book

Exploring the nature of creativity, the book argues that all beings possess the potential for creative expression, often hindered by habitual thought patterns. It critiques the limitations of psychology in explaining creativity, positing that true innovation occurs when rational thought is temporarily set aside, such as during dreams or trance states. In these moments, the mind becomes open to inspiration and deeper insights, highlighting the importance of these altered states in the creative process.
