In this episode I try to take our understanding of the psychology of creativity to the next level and then apply our understanding to the issues of the management of creativity and innovation. It’s probably my mad hubris and arrogance…. but I kind of feel like my understanding of the subject goes a little beyond anything that’s currently out there… And so I guess this episode is a little adventure into that understanding.. which can potentially be a mind bending adventure.. Which, at least for me, is what it’s all about…. basically my view is that the status quo of our society.. or what, as of 2006 / 07? Is a society that values certain things, and doesn’t value other things.. and as a result modern folks understanding of this stuff.. in terms of the needs of the coming age, is a little handy capped.. and so I talk a little about how to transend these limitations.

For further reading I’d recommend to you.. Richard Florida and his stuff on “The Rise Of The Creative Class.” He talks about how the new commodity of value is creative content. And of course.. what would our show notes be without links? Sure.. some of it’s the usual suspects.. but, I’m sure you can digit:

Management Theory
Management Science

Psychoanalysis
Buddhism

David Weinberger’s Blog
Newtonian physics
Entropy
Mechanistic Materialism
Neuroscience
Brain Chemistry
Brain Imaging

Nietzsche
Beyond Good And Evil
On The Genealogy of Morals

Economics
American Pragmatism
Moral Economy
Industrial Engineering
Frederick Winslow Taylor

And did I mention that the music is from my album Viveka? It’ll be out one of these days.
