Everybody is creative. So how can we cultivate our creativity and live richer, more creative lives? In this course, philosopher Dr. Will Buckingham explores what creativity is, and how we can nurture our own creativity.

And it gives you practical strategies for bringing more creativity into your life, your work and your play. Whatever you want to create — a new work of art, a new business, a new social movement, a new world — this course will help you understand how to make this happen.
