The Science of CreativityInside the Creative Brain: How Your Mind Changes When You CreateIn this episode, Keith Sawyer speaks with cognitive scientist Liane Gabora. Her work spans creativity research, artificial intelligence, cultural evolution, and complex systems.

The Science of CreativityThe True Story of New Year's Resolutions: Babylon, Ancient Rome, Benjamin Franklin, and the Science of Resolutions that WorkEvery January, millions of people make New Year's resolutions—and just as many abandon them weeks later.

We’re schooled in the notion that creativity is an individual thing, yet research shows, again and again, that it’s not. Instead, it’s through connecting with others, then working alone, and then connecting again, that we innovate.
