Author, Jonah Lehrer, examines myths and truths of creativity

I was sent the following link on mind-bender, Jonah Lehrer, by a photographer colleague of mine and it makes me appreciate more fully the complexities of creativity, the continuation of self-education and application there of.  It also makes me a three-time consumer of Jonah Lehrer’s books and hoping that I will be able to understand more than 25% of the material.   A while back I attended a speaker series with Mr. Lehrer and as I died a slow humiliating death of intellectual suffocation, I forced myself to leave with a minimal comprehension of at least one of his concepts.  And I reveal this to you:  Common sense is not common.

Adding to his repertoire, Jonah Lehrer, author of  ”Proust and the Neuroscientist” and “How We Decide,” recently released, “Imagine: How Creativity Works.”    Check out the following Author Interview with Jonah Lehrer on Salon.com
