Creativity is a philosophy, and a daily practice, that improves your performance, mood, leadership style, and so much more. A creative mindset will amplify your originality to find novel solutions to chronic problems. No arts and crafts required.
Are You Ready to:
- Boost resilience and stress management?
- Supercharge your problem-solving skills?
- Find your voice and stand out with confidence?
- Experience more joy and job satisfaction?
- Inoculate yourself against burnout?
You might not be an artist, but everyday creativity is in you. In a good way, like a deliciously warm meal, not an alien-took-over-your-body way. When you make a presentation plant a garden, braid your unicorn's mane, or sneak vegetables into smoothies - you’re practicing creativity and building resilience. Every step into creativity forces you to face failure, judgment, and confront uncertainty with a positive attitude.
"This practical and funny book can help anyone find their creative spark. Equally important, it will make you smile" - Daniel H. Pink, #1 New York Times bestselling author of WHEN, TO SELL IS HUMAN, and DRIVE.

Whether you lead a team or you want to lead yourself more effectively to a bright future, creativity is the skill you need to set yourself apart.
The Reluctant Creative is a literary mullet: fun in the front, data in the back. A colorful tossed salad with humor and exercises to help you embed five effortless habits to expand your comfort zone. Supported by research and personal stories about my experiences as a veterinarian, mom, and stand up comic, and stories about others who have used creativity to make their lives better.
What happens when you cross a veterinarian with a researcher and a stand-up comedian? You get a writer with a delightful sense of humor providing an evidence-based dissection of creativity with a step-by-step guide on how to nurture it in your daily life. - David Newman, PhD - Creativity Alchemist – Creatific Culture Labs; UBC Creativity professor.
