Your creative nature holds important keys for increasing joy and momentum in many parts of life. In Creativity Unlocked, discover an every day approach that sparks inspiration and accelerates progress toward the projects and experiences of your dreams. Upgrade your process with neuroscience-informed tools, get unstuck on long-term projects, find expressions that naturally spur delight, explore the narrative of your own journey, activate the secret sauce of creative flow, and build supportive community for your expressions.

Everyone is creative, whether via singing in the shower, crafting budgets, making coffee, kayaking rapids, or sharing a meaningful moment with a loved one. The question is not if you are creative, but what and how you are creating. To create is simply to bring about something new. Rediscovering creativity can help you flourish emotionally, professionally, and relationally. Your expressions can spark joy and meaningful connection in the present that fuel growth, enhance problem-solving capacity, increase resilience, and provide clarity for your career, your home life, and everything in between. Join Harvard-educated entrepreneur and former self-proclaimed "non-creative" Chris Lumry in a narrative-driven guide that will brighten your present and future seasons.

Human creative potential is the greatest untapped resource in the world. But this immense possibility for innovation is not the focus of this book, at least initially. Instead, this bookfirst prioritizes the internal benefits of unlocking this quality in humanity. Building a foundation of intrinsic motivation and connection can sustain many fruitful endeavors over the long-term in the midst of life’s uncertainties.
