DOWNLOAD EBOOK“Although the benefits of this study to scholars are obvious, this thought-provoking mixture of scholarly and colloquial will enlighten inquisitive general readers, too.” — Library Journal (starred review) The classic study of the creative process from the bestselling author of Flow. Creativity is about capturing those moments that make life worth living. Legendary psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi (“The leading researcher into ‘flow states.’” — Newsweek) reveals what leads to these moments—be it the excitement of the artist at the easel or the scientist in the lab—so that this knowledge can be used to enrich people's lives. Drawing on nearly one hundred interviews with exceptional people, from biologists and physicists, to politicians and business leaders, to poets and artists, as well as his thirty years of research on the subject, Csikszentmihalyi uses his famous flow theory to explore the creative process. He discusses such ideas as why creative individuals are often seen as selfish and arrogant, and why the "tortured genius" is largely a myth. Most important, he explains why creativity needs to be cultivated and is necessary for the future of our country, if not the world.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKOnce we have control of the will and over the core dispositions within the self so as that we have cultivated a virtuous character and nature then we realize that as enlightened people generally speaking we can become either agents of destruction or beings of creation. Through the powers of destruction we seek to protect that which we love and consider valuable and through the powers of creation we seek for that which we love and value to multiply, prosper and flourish. Through the control of the will at its most fundamental form as dispositions of self embedded in the subconscious then the flow of will through the constructs of the self and spirit can be channelled so as to produce a desired effect. As such when creative will flows through the self we find ourselves, through our chosen artistic medium, to become the introspective artists, thinkers and poets transforming ourselves through the creation of the art-form, crafting within ourselves our freedom, autonomy and future form.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book describes an entirely new way of conducting hypnotherapeutic interventions - Stephen Gilligan's generative trance. The first generation of trance work, the traditional hypnosis that still holds sway in most places, considers that both the conscious mind and the unconscious mind of the client are, to put it bluntly, idiots. So trance work involves first 'knocking out' the conscious mind and then talking to the unconscious mind like a 2-year old that needs to be told how to behave. Milton Erickson created the second generation of trance work. He approached the unconscious as having creative wisdom and each person as extraordinarily unique. Thus, rather than trying to programme the unconscious with new instructions, Erickson saw trance as an experiential learning state where a person's own creative unconscious could generate healing and transformation. At the same time Erickson, for the most part, carried the same low opinion of the conscious mind. Thus, Ericksonian hypnosis looks to bypass the conscious mind with indirect suggestions and dissociation and depotentiate it with confusion techniques.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book explores theories of intelligence, learning, and motivation to attempt a better understanding of the many interacting factors affecting the lifetime development of whole and happy children in the 21st century. The focus is on justifying the increased use of music as an art form in early childhood education. The Breadth component analyzes Elkind's (2001, 2007) theories on the power of play and Bronfenbrenner's (1969, 1993) theories on ecological systems. These theories are synthesized with Gardner's (2000, 2006) theories of multiple intelligences, particularly musical intelligence. Musical intelligence is considered as one of the most important ingredients in a recipe for wholeness, stimulating both the joy of learning and the desire to be a whole and creative individual. The Depth section explores current brain-based research models and the application component offers a free framework and sample grant proposal for any individual or community to implement.
