The Creative Leap: Courage in Learning by Virginia May

Abstract

The modern world pushes us to respond to rapid change in ways that often result in transformed perspectives on our lives. This paper focuses on how individuals enlist the confusion and uncertainty brought on by transitional triggers, as motivation for creativity.
