Boosting Creativity
According to the novel Wired to Create: Unraveling the Mysteries of the Creative Mind by Scott Barry Kaufman and Carolyn Gregoire, there are patterns to how the mechanics of creativity can be boosted. For instance, a 2014 study found that 72% of people have creative insights in the shower. In a chapter that explores the link between creativity and solitary activity, it’s shown that isolation is an excellent way to generate ideas. Meditation, walking, and daydreaming are also great ways to generate creative ideas.
