Reveals how unlearning life’s habits can unlock innate creativity, combining insights from the author’s Buddhist training with practical guidance to cultivate a creative mindset

Asia’s greatest playwright Stan Lai has written one of the unique works of our time, explaining that the mysterious act of creativity is actually a traceable function of mind, and there is a path to learn creativity through un-learning many of our habits picked up in life. By slowing down the process of inspiration, this Asian creative guru explains exactly what happens in the moment of inspiration, and through his extensive experience shows us how to cultivate a ‘creative app’ that works within us. Lai believes that we are all born creative, but the source has been blocked, by life. Taking cue from his Buddhist training, he says that wisdom and method are both needed for success in any training, but ‘wisdom’ has mysteriously vanished from education systems all over. Most teaching in creativity focuses on method. Creativity is making connections, and Lai guides you on how to prepare your mind to do so. His Map of Creativity is a unique contribution to learning and charts the path which he explains clearly with humour and compassion, and tailor-made exercises. This book is a rewrite by the author of his best-selling work in Chinese that has become the most prominent work on creativity in China, endorsed by Jack Ma, Ang Lee and other luminaries.
