Synopsis

In Quantum Creativity, Amit Goswami, PhD, physicist and author of The Self-Aware Universe, explores human creativity through the unique lens of quantum physics, offering readers a new way to nurture and enhance their own creativity - the ultimate source of joy and fulfillment. In this exciting work, Goswami poses questions that probe the wellspring of creation that exists in each of us. What is creativity? Can anyone be creative? What kinds of creativity are there? Goswami fixes on this mercurial subject with the eye of a scientist. Combining the art of creativity with the objectivity of science, he lays out a guidebook for understanding the power of the mind to access creativity in a whole new way. According to quantum physics, reality occurs on two levels: possibility and actuality. Goswami uses this same duality to explore what he calls 'quantum thinking', which focuses on two levels of thinking - the conscious mind of actuality and the unconscious mind of possibility. He then teaches readers how to harness this innate ability in order to live more creatively.

Review:

A new view of consciousness is arising, in which consciousness is infinite, eternal and one. This new view has radical implications for the creative process, as physicist Amit Goswami shows in his splendid book, Quantum Creativity. In the new view, the solitary individual gives way to collective wisdom spanning past, present and future. Thus the source of creativity and the fount of wisdom are potentially infinite. Goswami has painted a majestic picture of what it means to be human, on which our future may depend. -- Larry Dossey MD author of One Mind Amit Goswami writes with as much wisdom, intelligence, humour and spiritual insight as his Bengali forefathers - great minds like physicist Jagadish Chandra Bose, poet Rabindranath Tagore and mystic Swami Vivekananda. Goswami's move from quantum physicist to motivational and spiritual teacher/writer takes considerable daring. -- Fred Alan Wolf, AKA Dr Quantum, author of Time Loops and Space Twists: How God Created the Universe
