Episode 62 – Calling On Our Creativity

PART 1 – today’s episode is the first in a two-part series on the topic of creativity. Today, we talk about how creativity benefits and encourages our well-being, as well as the elements that make up creativity. We look at the work of Hungarian American psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, who wrote the book Creativity and apply that information to benefit our mental health.
Next week, we’ll look at how we can be more creative and discuss the creative process of people who are recognised as having creative genius.
