Ha dejado de ser, ha pasado a mejor vida, descanse en paz. Ha palmado, se ha ido al más allá, ha mordido el polvo, la ha diñado, ha exhalado su último aliento y ha ido a encontrarse con el gran jefe del entretenimiento ligero del cielo. Y creo que todos pensamos lo triste que es que un hombre de tan talento, de tal capacidad y amabilidad, de tal inusual inteligencia se haya desvanecido así de repente a la edad de sólo 48 años, antes de que pudiese alcanzar muchas de las cosas de las que era capaz y antes de que se hubiese divertido lo suficiente. Bueno, a eso creo que debería decir: «tonterías». ¡Que tenga un buen viaje, el cabrón aprovechado ése! Y la razón por la que pienso que debería decir esto es que él nunca me perdonaría si no lo hiciese, si desperdiciara esta gloriosa oportunidad de tomaros el pelo en su honor. Él tenía de todo excepto «buen gusto, imbécil». Pude oírle susurrarme al oído anoche, mientras escribía estas palabras. Decía: «Muy bien, Cleese, estás muy orgulloso de ser la primera persona en haber dicho “mierda” en la televisión británica. Si este funeral es realmente para mí, para empezar quiero que seas la primera persona, en un funeral británico, en decir “joder”»Así despedía un mítico Humorista inglés, John Cleese, a uno de tus compañeros en los Monty Python. Cleese es, además, el protagonista de uno de los tres cuadros que hay en el despacho en el que grabo el podcast. Bueno, más bien su silueta, en un homenaje a uno de sus sketches más conocidos. Como ya hemos dicho muchas veces, detrás del mejor humor se esconde habitualmente un enorme ejercicio de creatividad. La que se necesita para inventar situaciones absurdas o sorprendentes capaces de hacernos cosquillas en el cerebro.Hace ahora la friolera de 50 años, Cleese fundó una empresa, Videoarts, para dar formación en otras empresas usando, claro, el humor. Haciendo un poco de arqueología en Youtube es relativamente sencillo encontrar algunas de sus charlas. En concreto hay una que está muy bien sobre creatividad. «Hay algo negativo que os puedo decir sobre la creatividad. Y es que es más sencillo decir lo que la creatividad no es. Un poco como aquel escultor que, al ser preguntado cómo había esculpido un maravilloso elefante, explicó que había tomado un gran bloque de mármol y después había ido quitando todas aquellas partes que no se parecían a un elefante. Y aquí viene la parte negativa: la creatividad no es un talento. No es un talento. Es una forma de operar»Es decir, según él, la creatividad es una forma de hacer las cosas. Volveremos a sus ideas en algún capítulo futuro, seguro, aunque si no aguantas hasta entonces te he dejado un enlace a una de sus charlas en las notas. Pero hoy vamos a seguir profundizando en esa forma de hacer las cosas vista desde otra perspectiva, la de un filósofo griego que odiaba a la humanidad. Y es que vamos a tratar de terminar con esas ideas que hemos ido rescatando de un libro extraño llamado «Espera lo inesperado», en el que Roger von Oech trataba de sacar aprendizajes sobre creatividad de un tal Heráclito.

Dr. John Vervaeke engages in a conversation with guests Kevin Bowers and Ethan Kobayashi-Hsieh. The trio navigates the intricate interplay between creativity and wisdom, extending the discourse to themes like consilience, fittedness, and self-transcendence. Kevin Bowers passionately elucidates how creativity is not restricted to artistry but is a fundamental way of engaging with the world. Meanwhile, Ethan Kobayashi-Hsieh takes the discussion further by delving into the role of 'through lining' and identity in creative processes. Vervaeke's erudite commentary weaves these perspectives into a broader framework, arguing that creativity and wisdom are not just interconnected but are facets of a life well-lived. Don't miss out on this scintillating conversation that transcends traditional understanding and invites you into a deeper contemplation of creativity and wisdom.   Resources: John Vervaeke: Website | Patreon | Facebook | X | YouTube Ethan Kobayashi-Hsieh: LinkedIn Kevin Bowers: X | Email   The Vervaeke Foundation   Related Voice with Vervaeke Episodes Principles & Methods for Achieving a Flow State | Voices w/ Vervaeke | John Vervaeke & Kevin Bowers Theatre-ritual-movement ecology of practices w/ Ethan Kobayashi-Hsieh & Tamaki Kobayashi-Hsieh.

Tackle your thorniest problems using the Wise Fool's savvy Strategies!  The Wise Fool is the archetypal contrarian known for his creativity, irreverence, and humor. He looks at life in unorthodox ways and pushes back against the status quo. Throughout history, powerful decision-makers (Egyptian pharaohs, Chinese emperors, Persian sultans, and European kings) consulted Wise Fools to question the assumptions that kept them mired in stale and obsolete solutions.   In The Creative Contrarian, best-selling author (A Whack on the Side of the Head), speaker, and toy designer (Ball of Whacks) Dr. Roger von Oech provides readers with a fully-illustrated “Wise Fool Guide” to challenge established procedures and engage in creative thinking. 

Tất cả chúng ta, ai cũng làm việc cần cù và rất muốn có được những ý tưởng sáng tạo. Đôi khi chúng ta tự hỏi, vì sao mình không có được những thành công rực rỡ như Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Edison, Albert Einstein… Không phải chúng ta quá kém cỏi, mà thực tế, có 10 “ổ khóa trí tuệ” thường dẫn dắt, giam hãm chúng ta theo những lối mòn, trong những khuôn mẫu. Vì thế, nhiều khi cần có những “cú đánh” để thức tỉnh sự sáng tạo trong mỗi con người. Đó là thông điệp quý báu mà tác giả cuốn sách này, Tiến sĩ Roger von Oech, muốn gửi đến chúng ta.Theo tác giả, cần phải thay đổi lối tư duy đã sáo mòn, cần tiếp cận vấn đề từ nhiều góc độ và bằng nhiều phương pháp khác nhau. Bằng các chiến lược đôi khi đơn giản đến không ngờ mà chính các vĩ nhân cũng-tư duy nhưng lại vô cùng hiệu quả, chắc chắn bạn sẽ tìm ra-thường sử dụng được “một điều gì đó khác biệt”. Các chiến lược đó là: Không hài lòng với chỉ một câu trả lời mà phải tìm ra câu trả lời thứ hai, thứ ba; Xem xét những điều nghịch lý; Đặt ra và trả lời câu hỏi “Nếu… thì sao”, Chọn những viên đá đặt chân; Hãy vui đùa với các ý tưởng; Bắt chước một anh hề; thậm chí Học tập cách tư duy của một đứa trẻ, v.v… Sử dụng văn phong thoải mái như chuyện trò, tâm tình cùng độc giả, tác giả trình bày các vấn đề một cách logic, với những giải thích kỹ càng và lập luận sắc sảo, ông đã dẫn dắt độc giả bước vào một khung trời tri thức thật mới lạ và hấp dẫn…--Về Fonos:Fonos là ứng dụng sách nói có bản quyền.

Over the years, A WHACK ON THE SIDE OF THE HEAD has been praised by business people, educators, scientists, homemakers, artists, youth leaders, and many more. The book has been stimulating creativity in millions of readers, translated into eleven languages, and used in seminars around the world. Now Roger von Oech's fully illustrated and updated volume is filled with even more provocative puzzles, anecdotes, exercises, metaphors, cartoons, questions, quotations, stories, and tips designed to systematically break through your mental blocks and unlock your mind for creative thinking. This new edition will attract an entire new generation of readers with updated and mind-stretching material.

In 1983, while pursuing a Ph.D. at the University of Southern California, I got a creative nudge from the book A Whack on the Side of the Head – How You Can Be More Creative. The book's author, Roger von Oech (who received his Ph.D. from Stanford in the history of ideas and creativity), offered keen insights which were foundational to professor Carol Dweck's work on growth mindset and professor Warner Burke's research on learning agility. Since customer experience elevation requires flexibility, creativity, and adaptivity, this series of posts will cover the work of Drs. von Oech, Dweck, and Burke and will start with three of von Oech's ten mental locks, which he says are hazardous to creative thinking.

A Whack on the Side of the Head - by Roger van Oech "How You Can Be More Creative"   Creative thinking is absolute vital to success. The author even says that creative thinking is just like sex for the mind (not sure what his sex life is like, but each to his own...). But we all have a bunch of 'mental locks' that trap us in our current ways of thinking. As much as we try, we can't break free from these mental locks. Some times we just need a 'whack' to snap us out of it.   Mental Lock = "I need to find the right answer" Whack = There's always a SECOND 'right answer', push yourself beyond the first thing that comes to mind and think of another answer   Mental Lock = "Play is frivolous, we need to be practical" Whack = Use your imagination! Some times you need to think practically, but sometimes you need to give yourself permission but play and use imagination to come up with new, creative ideas   Mental Lock = "That's not my area, coming up with new ideas is for those creative types" Whack = EVERYONE should be bringing new ideas together. Rather than working in silos, bring together different departments and different fields. This 'cross-fertilisation' means you can new approaches to old problems.    Mental Lock = "Making mistakes is bad" Whack = 'Success' isn't always good (it can trap you into a certain way of thinking) and 'failure' isn't always bad (it means what you're doing now isn't working, but that doesn't mean that you'll never find a solution)   Mental Lock = "I'm just not creative" Whack = EVERYONE is creative. If you ever saw a cardboard box and pretended it was a space ship or a race car, you're creative. You've just told yourself that you're not. Give yourself a licence to be creative. We need your ideas!   Grab a copy of the book here: https://www.bookdepository.com/Whack-On-Side-Head-Roger-von-Oech/9780446404662/?a_aid=adamsbooks

TheSparkAndTheArt.com/56 – Maxime Goulet composes classical music for both the orchestral performances and the scores of video games. Not only has he created orchestral pieces around eating chocolate but he has scored game adaptations for titles like Shrek, The Amazing Spider-Man and Iron Man. We dig into where ideas come from and his desire to keep classical music engaging as more than just music by adding visual and edible elements. **Links for this episode**Maxime Goulet - http://maximegoulet.com/Gameloft - http://en.gameloft.ca/Video Games Live - http://www.videogameslive.comA Whack on the Side of the Head by Roger von Oech - http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/0446404667/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=15121&creative=330641&creativeASIN=0446404667&linkCode=as2&tag=soiwr-20
