Freedom and Other Keys to Creativity

There is a lot of buzz on creativity and there are many ways to look at it but, in this book, you will not find a methodology for ´unlocking your inner creative soul.´ Instead, you will be immersed in a thought-provoking dive into neuroscience, philosophy, psychology, and a variety of references from arts and sciences. Creativity takes courage (and it also takes time): one must take the existential approach of becoming (a meaningful engagement with life). Enjoy creativity as a process, not as a tool to conquer a goal. ´´Most people read one or two books on creativity in a lifetime, Joaquim Franch has probably read them all! In this book, he has broken them down, sorted out the common denominators, and put them in order to produce a book that is both thought proving and practical. An essential read for anyone interested in creativity´´. Ian Gibbs, with a degree in astrophysics and a postgrad in education, is an entrepreneur working as a learning-strategies specialist. Author of The Sorites Principle and the 2022 TEDx Talk, The Secret Key to Learning Hidden in Plain Sight. ´´I consider it of great value that the author has made use of creative parameters to address its nature. The result is a useful and original book that undoubtedly helps to take a step further in understanding creativity´´. Matilde Obradors, Professor in the Department of Communication at the Pompeu Fabra University (Barcelona). Author of Creatividad y generación de ideas. ´´My friend Joaquim is a true generalist (and a systems thinker) and, not surprisingly, with this work he has achieved a balanced vision of a widely studied subject in the Anglo-American world. It´´s an honest intellectual analysis of diverse sources´´. Pere Marés, former Professor in the Automatic Control Department at the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (Barcelona).
