Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Interest is the creative process isn't new. Both Plato and Aristotle discussed its intricacies, and so have many others over the past two thousand years. This unusal collection provides a lively sampling of what 38 writers, artists, and scientists have had to say about creativity. While not always comforting, their remarks offer new ways of understanding the creative struggle. Discipline and hard work are clearly integral to the process, but as editor Brewster Ghiselin notes, so too is listening to the voice of eccentricity within ourselves and in the world."--Page 4 of cover
