Diving into traumatic experiences that can upend life, The Creative Jump uses those dramatic life-changing experiences to show the wonder of our mind and its capacity to reach beyond the tragedy and use our innate creativity for growth and beauty. It builds through many images and examples to demonstrate how each of us can gain a greater understanding of our innate creative capacity and how to develop perspectives that move us beyond our sometimes-limited vision. The engaging and tragic experiences of the writer enhance and enforce the importance and truth of the ideas and observations. The paintings and photographs give additional depth and insight into the journey the reader goes through with each chapter that builds on perception, growth, understanding, and a sense of wonder. Dr. Warren Ditmar provides the reasons for each of us to embrace the significance of art and culture in our lives so that we can overcome moments of distress and failure. The Creative Jump is about a way to engage in life with enthusiasm and wonder. To feel a sense of awe when you view the world around you. It is a way to become an artist in thinking and being.
