Global Creativity Network
A Worldwide Community of Individuals and Groups Actively Working to Build a More Fulfilling Human Civilization
We talk about so many fundamental human rights: life, liberty, security, education, work, property, protection of the law, and many more. We justifiably regard these rights as inalienable, and take great care to protect them. Diplomatic relations frequently reflect the extent to which countries are believed to observe these rights. We have even resorted to wars when we perceived that certain human rights have been seriously violated.
But, what about the right to be creative and successful -- evidently, the most fundamental human right and the one right in the context of which other rights acquire their meaning and significance? What about the right to discover one's natural abilities and to develop and engage them in things that one perceives as important and beneficial to onself, to one's society, and to the natural enviroment? What about the right to realize one's potential, to fulfill one's life purpose, to exist more fully as a human being?
Bringing together some of the most illuminating interpretations of human nature, GREAT INSIGHTS ON HUMAN CREATIVITY: TRANSFORMING THE WAY WE LIVE, WORK, EDUCATE, LEAD, AND RELATE -- a resource for individuals and groups actively working to make our world a more humane and more fulfilling place to live -- conclusively demonstrates the centrality of creativity in human life, its primacy among the forces driving human behavior, and the necessity of its actualization for personal fulfillment and for responsible social and ecological behavior.
Challenging popular behavior modification techniques, GREAT INSIGHTS ON HUMAN CREATIVITY argues that if we sincerely want to raise creative, self-confident children; make learning exciting and individually rewarding; make work a meaningful and fulfilling experience and enhance workers' productivity and commitment; inspire subordinates and followers to excell in areas of their natural abilities; and develop good and responsible national and planetary citizens, what is needed is a system that allows people to experience themselves as intelligent and creative, and that also enables them to engage their creative abilities in meaningful and beneficial activities.
Finally, GREAT INSIGHTS ON HUMAN CREATIVITY reminds us that a world in which every human being is able to realize his or her unique abilities and to contribute them for the common good is no longer a utopian dream but a practical and attainable goal and, indeed, an imperative for our collective survival.
Find out in this treasury of wit and practical wisdom what you can do as parent, teacher, student, worker, supervisor, leader, corporate executive, or human development professional to promote creativity and human fulfillment where you live and work.
