The origins of creative insight

I am a huge fan of Jonah Lehrer.

He’s smart, looks impossibly young, and is able to communicate complex ideas simply, which is a form of genius.

And today, we get to see him speak on creative insight and how it happens free.

You’ll need 30 minutes, and it’s worth turning off your cell phone and concentrating on what he says, unless you’ve got more great ideas than you can handle already…
