If we understand the mental and emotional drivers of innovation
and creativity, we can be more innovative and creative.

"Sit in a room and read and read and read. And read the right
books by the right people. Your mind is brought onto that level,
and you have a nice, mild, slow-burning rapture all the ?me."
Joseph Campbell
-
"Thoughts of doubt and fear never accomplish anything, and never
can.
They always lead to failure. Purpose, energy, power to do,
and
all strong thoughts cease when doubt and fear creep in.
Self-control
is strength. Right thought is mastery. Calmness is power."
James Allen
-
"Imagina?on, broadly defined, seems to me to be a principle in
human life underlying even reason, for the ra?onal func?ons,
according to our defini?ons, can lead to understanding can
par?cipate in the cons?tu?ng of reality only as they are
crea?ve."
Rollo May
-
"The fundamental impulse that sets and keeps the capitalist
engine in
mo?on comes from the new consumers, goods, the new methods of
produc?on or transporta?on, the
new markets, the new forms of industrial organiza?on that
capitalist enterprise creates. This process of Crea?ve
Destruc?on is
the essen?al fact about capitalism.
Joseph Schumpeter
-
"All managerial decisions and ac?ons rest on assump?ons about
behavior...We can improve our ability to control only if we
recognize that control consists in selec?ve adapta?on to human
nature rather than in aLemp?ng to make human nature conform to our
wishes.
Douglas McGregor
-
"One can choose to go back toward safety or forward
toward growth. Growth must be chosen again and again;
fear must be overcome again and again.
Abraham Maslow
-
"At a crisis in my youth he taught me the wisdom of choice: To
try and fail is at least to learn; to fail to try is to suffer the
ines?mable loss of what might have been."
Chester Barnard
-
"We can look upon a road from two different points of view. One
regards it as dividing us from the object of our desire. The other
sees it as the road
which leads us to our des?na?on, and as such, it is
part of our goal.
Rabindranath Tagore
-
"We are fragmented into so many different aspects. We don't know
who we really are, or what aspects of ourselves we should iden?fy
with or believe in. So many contradictory voices, dictates, and
feelings fight for control over our inner lives that we find
ourselves scaLered everywhere, in all direc?ons, leaving nobody at
home.
