I encountered so many amazing sources on creativity through out my research, but not all of them were referenced in my final project. Here I have listed some that get even deeper into the topics we talked about or offer a different perspective on creativity so that you can reap their benefits too.

Brain Pickings

Another excellent source for different thoughts on creativity is Brain Pickings. Here you can find the writings of many different creative people both past and present detailing different elements of their experiences and talking about their lives as creators. Many of these articles are where I found the quotes from different creators throughout this website.

Wired to Create: Unraveling the Mysteries of the Creative Mind

I highly recommend checking out this book by Scott Barry Kaufman and Carolyn Gregoire. It's full of fascinating puzzles like the nine dots problem and incredible thoughts on the need for and function of creativity.
