Creative person and the development of creativity: a challenge for contemporary society

Central to the creative process is fostering specific cognitive and emotional qualities. Open-mindedness, resilience in the face of failure, curiosity, and intrinsic motivation to explore are foundational to creativity. Additionally, our environment plays a pivotal role. Spaces promoting diversity of thought, encouraging risk-taking, and valuing individual expression serve as breeding grounds for creative ideas. The goal of this book, which contains the research results of a group of international scholars who focused on this specific domain, is to inspire readers, provoke reflection, and reignite their appreciation for the boundless realms of human creativity.
