Creativity Unzipped uses original research and scientific studies on human consciousness, mindfulness, and brain plasticity to illustrate the advances and transformations we are undergoing at this unique point in our evolution when humankind—for the first time in history—realizes it has a role to play in the preservation of the planet. This book is rooted in Rumi’s idea to “stop learning, start knowing.” It not only supports the harvesting of our personal experiences for the wisdom to be found there, but shows how people have done it and how they have benefitted.
