The book features the 'Four P's' of creativity: person, product, process, and press. It tells how creativity influences personality, motivation, intelligence, and talent. It also features the dark side of creativity: the remarkable relationship between creativity and mental illness. The book contains emerging directions in creativity research, with discussions on neuroscience, the media, and literature. It contains short, reader-friendly introductions to cutting-edge topics in psychology.
