Introduction

Creativity is tricky.

I begin by saying so because to be creative consistently you will be required to do things that you are not good at, abandon things that you have just learned to be good at, and most importantly — fight feverishly with your own self.

None of the above is easy. Forget easy. It is not appealing either. No one in their right frame of mind would want to put themselves through this, but then no one in their right frame of mind would want to be creative either. We say so because being creative requires tapping into substantially more brain cells. It is important to realize and understand that your biggest enemy standing in the way of becoming creative is your own brain and habits of thinking. It is important to separate your brain’s existence from your existence.

This book, by making you do many many things, wants to be your co-passenger in a journey where the learning goals are to understand creativity by exploring it and to enhance your inner creativity by experimenting with it.

Creativity is something that exists within you. So you do not need to foray far away into exotic places. You are very much “it.” Hence, this experimentation and intention to get in touch with creativity is nothing other than the act of discovering your true self, which at the moment is hidden somewhere within you.

Remember this: Creativity is tricky.
