Dr. Gregory Berns is a neuroscientist and a psychiatrist. His research has been profiled in the New York Times, Forbes, and the Wall Street Journal. His new book, Iconoclast, was published by Harvard Business School Press. He says, in short:
“Categories are death to imagination… Often the harder one tries to think differently, the more rigid the categories become.
There is a better way, a path that jolts the brain out of preconceived notions of what it is seeing: bombard the brain with new experiences. Only then will it be forced out of efficiency mode and reconfigure it neural networks…
The surest way to evoke the imagination is to confront the perceptual system with people, places and things it hasn’t seen before.”
The More Radical and Novel the Better
And THEN he says:
“It typically takes a novel stimulus – either a new piece of information or getting out of the environment in which an individual has become comfortable – to jolt attentional systems awake and reconfigure both perception and imagination.
The more radical and novel the change, the greater the likelihood of new insights being generated.”
That is why reading new books, traveling to new places, meeting new people, and exposing your mind to unique and formerly unknown concepts and ideas is so important to creativity.
- Push yourself out of your comfort zone.
