This is a lively and thought-provoking book about how to do
creativity, unlock your potential, and make a difference.
The artists, musicians, and writers we think of as 'very creative' are
just like us, except that they have spent time developing and realising
ideas, and have found the confidence to share them with the world. None
of this comes naturally. This wide-ranging book offers research, advice,
and philosophy to fuel your understanding and passion for creativity.
David Gauntlett draws on his own experiences of making music and
experimenting with digital media alongside 25 years of researching
creativity. Including insights from a diverse array of creators, this
book highlights the vitality of the individual creative voice in a world
where social media offers a weird mix of inspiration and suffocation,
and our struggles for social justice are equally hopeful and upsetting.
Creativity shows how vulnerability, experimentation, and courage can
enable us to become bold and engaging creators.
