More about the book
Exploring the nature of creativity, the book argues that all beings possess creative potential often hindered by habitual thinking. It critiques the limited insights offered by psychology regarding the creative process and posits that true creativity emerges when rational thought is paused, such as during dreams or trance states. In these moments, the mind becomes open to inspiration and deeper insights, suggesting a profound connection between creativity and altered states of consciousness.
