ABC Episode “2″: On the Psychology of Creativity (Part 1)
So we try to cover the subject of the psychology of creativity: How do you unlock your creative potential? We talk about the ideal situation for realizing your creative potential.. juxtaposed with the actual life path of Evan and Matt, and there particular struggles at creative realization.. And towards the end we talk a little bit about the challenges of managing creativity.. versus the challenges of other sorts of management.
Along these paths we touch on the works of Carl Jung, Sigmund Freud, Joseph Campbell, Abraham Maslow, and even Peter Drucker. We talk a bit about Shamanism, Psychedelics, and Buddhism.. the psychology of fine art and commercial art.. in terms of process… touch on industrial engineering and systems theory…. and on and on it goes.

What are you looking for?
I would say yes, there’s incredible value to the sort of education you can get from online resources. Take a look at iTunes U.. if you have iTunes.. there’s a hell of a lot of amazing stuff in podcasts generally.. lectures from UC Berkeley, Harvard, MIT, Standford.. and there’s a hell of a lot you can find from independent podcasters.. there’s a huge universe of blogs out there on all kinds of things.. I mean… I think most of my education is coming from podcasts these days.. It’s like going to a library “hmm, what do I want to learn about” and just searching around for stuff.

My feeling is that education will probably go more this way over time.. though I don’t know.. but it so good for educating your self… the question, maybe, is one of accreditation..
I suppose maybe there’s the question of how you define value.. or what you’re thinking as you ask your question.. but my sense is that it’s amazing what you can find..
