Some people's view of creativity may be one of positive health, but there are also issues of illness, pain, trauma, substance abuse, and thought disorders and creativity. The contributors to this volume look to creativity as a general style of thinking and living.

As human beings we all have creative potential, a quality essential to human development and a vital component to healthy and happy lives. Ruth Richards highlights the importance of "process", circumventing our common preoccupation with the product, or creative outcome, of creativity.

Presented by an interdisciplinary group of eminent thinkers and writers, this collection of essays offer their thoughts on how embracing creativity - tapping into the ""originality of everyday life"" - can lead to improved physical and mental health, to new ways of thinking, of experiencing the world and ourselves.
