Opis

Children and adults alike need to celebrate in play. Play, an important aspect of our lives, often gets marginalized as we focus on the day to day tasks set to us. Play at its heart involves creative thinking and joyful exploration. What Potential was written in the hopes of sharing with people how to simply, and through everyday practice, encourage creativity. The book shares the aspects of our thinking that help and hinder creativity. It clarifies why it is important for us to open ourselves to creative endeavors and how doing so allows us to revel in our own humanity. What potential was created in response to the numerous people who have said to me things like "I don't have a creative bone in my body." Everyone's bones are chock full of creativity, we just need to remember how to access the creative marrow there. Fear replaces experimentation, worry fills the space in which fun used to reside. There are scholars talking and writing about creative thinking - but this is often theory. This book was written to make the bridge between theory and practice to guide the reader closer to their own potential, to help them remember what we are all given from birth, the love of discovery and the ability to put this love to the task of play and creation. There are 72 different activities, 3 listed at the end of every chapter, and most require little more than imagination. Many can be done such places as riding in a car, waiting for an appointment or when looking for something quick to do to fill a moment. What Potential hopes to make it easy to get back to our creative core.
