 This is a lively and thought-provoking book about how to do creativity, unlock your potential, and make a difference.

 The artists, musicians, and writers we think of as ’very creative’ are just like us, except that they have spent time developing and realizing ideas, and have found the confidence to share them with the world. None of this comes naturally. This wide-ranging book offers research, advice, and philosophy to fuel your understanding and passion for creativity.

David Gauntlett draws on his own experiences of making music and experimenting with digital media alongside 25 years of researching creativity. Including insights from a diverse array of creators, the book highlights the vitality of the individual creative voice in a world where social media offers a weird mix of inspiration and suffocation, and our struggles for social justice are equally hopeful and upsetting.

Creativity shows how vulnerability, experimentation, and courage can enable us to become bold and engaging creators.

Also available as an audiobook narrated by the author.

Industry Reviews

"Growing up is how we become alienated from ourselves and the creative superpowers we had as children. Gauntlett shows us the way back to play, learning, and the joy of realizing our true creative genius. A must-read."
Cecilia Weckstrom, The LEGO Group

"This wonderful book makes the impossibly complex process of creativity accessible, emotional, and playful."
Clare Twomey, ceramic artist

"We’re often told that creativity is a vital gift of the rarefied few, but Gauntlett shows that its magic can be unlocked for all of us. An inspiring, enthusiastic and, for this reader, life-shifting book!"
Ben Barry, Dean of Fashion, Parsons School of Design
