Everyday Creativity and New Views of Human Nature Psychological, Social and Spiritual Perspectivesby Ruth Richards
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:In this provocative collection of essays, eminent thinkers and writers offer their thoughts on how embracing creativity--tapping into the originality of everyday life--can lead to improved physical and mental health as well as new ways of thinking and experiencing the world. Book News Annotation:Though active in the arts herself, Dr. Richards (psychology, Saybrook
Graduate School, San Francisco; psychiatry, Harvard Medical School;
McLean Hospital, Belmont, Massachusetts) views creativity more
broadly and as essential to survival. As someone who helped break new
ground in the assessment of creativity in the general population, she
introduces 13 chapters in which interdisciplinary thinkers probe the
"originality of everyday life" in individual and societal contexts.
Perspectives range from Piaget's developmental stages and the more
positive aspects of television viewing to chaos theory and Zen
Buddhism. In integrating these views, the editor enumerates the
benefits of living creatively.
