Творческий человек — что в нем особенного? И почему творчество делает жизнь насыщеннее и счастливее? Талантливые художники, музыканты, писатели, ученые, лидеры крупнейших корпораций — профессор Михай Чиксентмихайи исследовал судьбы 90 величайших людей ХХ столетия. Это исследование остается самым глубоким научным трудом, посвященным креативности, и оно развеивает множество расхожих стереотипов о том, что делает человека креативным и что стимулирует творческие порывы. Используя теорию потока, ученый показывает, что такое креативный процесс и почему креативность столь необходима человеку.
