Welcome to the more than sound podcast.
You may have heard the theory that creativity is linked to the left side of the brain, but modern neuroscience has revealed it’s not actually that simple. This episode of the podcast features an excerpt from Daniel Goleman’s audio book, The Brain and Emotional Intelligence, in which Goleman introduces the new understanding of the creative pathways within the brain, and shares ways that that understanding can be applied to support one’s own creative process.
What a great post! I just wrote an atcirle on Fellowstream about how taking a vacation really restarted my brain. I feel like I’m solving a lot more problems with a creative mindset that I have before, and now I have scientific backing to understand why. I’d also like to say I’m so happy that research is being done to debunk the artistic temperament myth. For a few months, I had to work with a writer on a video game project who believed that getting work done was having a lot of drama in his life and thinking up things in the shower. Having a vision! with arms wide open, nostrils flaring, and screaming was the way to create. I really found it all quite tiresome and not at all what I needed to jump start good ideas for myself. So glad I don’t have to work with that guy anymore.
