Report
"Growing up is how we become alienated from ourselves and the creative superpowers we had as children. Gauntlett shows us the way back to play, learning, and the joy of realizing our true creative genius. A must-read."
Cecilia Weckstrom, The LEGO Group
"This wonderful book makes the impossibly complex process of creativity accessible, emotional, and playful."
Clare Twomey, ceramic artist
"We're often told that creativity is a vital gift of the rarefied few, but Gauntlett shows that its magic can be unlocked for all of us. An inspiring, enthusiastic and, for this reader, life-shifting book!"
Ben Barry, Dean of Fashion, Parsons School of Design
