Creativity : the perfect crime / by Petit, Philippe,1949-author,illustrator.(CARDINAL)728641;
Includes bibliographical references.A forethought: Confession of an outlaw -- The blank page -- Chaos & order -- The safe house -- Subversive elements -- Criminal practice -- The plot thickens -- A murder of problems -- The coup -- Aftermath -- An afterthought: Conquistador of the useless."Completely original insights, philosophy, and approaches to the creative process developed over a lifetime of uncompromising pursuit of the impossible, by "Man on Wire" Philippe Petit's uncompromising pursuit of art"--"In the vein of The Creative Habit and The Artist's Way, a new manifesto on the creative process from a master of the impossible. Since well before his epic 1974 walk between the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center, Philippe Petit had become an artist who answered first and foremost to the demands of his craft-not only on the high wire, but also as a magician, street juggler, visual artist, builder, and writer. A born rebel like many creative people, he was from an early age a voracious learner who taught himself, cultivating the attitudes, resources, and techniques to tackle even seemingly impossible feats. His outlaw sensibility spawned a unique approach to the creative process-an approach he shares, with characteristic enthusiasm, irreverence, and originality in Creativity: The Perfect Crime. Making the reader his accomplice, Petit reveals new and unconventional ways of going about the artistic endeavor, from generating and shaping ideas to practicing and problem-solving to pulling off the "coup" itself-executing a finished work. The strategies and insights he shares will resonate with performers of every stripe (actors, musicians, dancers) and practitioners of the non-performing arts (painters, writers, sculptors), and also with ordinary mortals in search of fresh ways of tackling the challenges and possibilities of everyday existence"--

Creativity : the psychology of discovery and invention / by Csikszentmihalyi, Mihaly.(CARDINAL)157496;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 429-442) and index."Creativity is about capturing those moments that make life worth living. Legendary psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi reveals what leads to these moments—be it the excitement of the artist at the easel or the scientist in the lab—so that this knowledge can be used to enrich people's lives. Drawing on nearly one hundred interviews with exceptional people, from biologists and physicists, to politicians and business leaders, to poets and artists, as well as his thirty years of research on the subject, Csikszentmihalyi uses his famous flow theory to explore the creative process. He discusses such ideas as why creative individuals are often seen as selfish and arrogant, and why the "tortured genius" is largely a myth. Most important, he explains why creativity needs to be cultivated and is necessary for the future of our country, if not the world." --back cover.
