Description:
Creativity Roots is a movement, an exploration of our extraordinary capacity to be creative. Based on the fact that creativity is at the top of the basic human needs, a natural expression of our species that has been repressed to our own detriment. The purpose of this movement is to rediscover our natural ability to innovate, demystifying creativity, expanding our understanding of ourselves and embracing our own potential to innovate. Every week we will share and discuss information, tips, and exercises that will help us reconnect with the roots of what made us humans, the ability to create.

Creativity Roots - Episode 12 by Ronald Paredes
Today is September 30th, and we are celebrating #InternationalPodcastDay.

Using mainly oil painting and knives he basically places chunks of color one on top of the other to create impressionist like compositions rich with...

Identity is probably the most important aspect of an individual, it is what helps us identify ourselves with the different social groups we interact with, giving us a sense of belonging.
Knowing who are, where we come from, having a strong sense of identity can help us to be more social adaptable. Lack of an identity can create great conflict that can be of great detriment to our mental and physical health and maybe even make us incur in...

Define Your Success - Creativity Roots - S1E5

Creativity Roots - Episode 5 - hosted by Ronald Paredes
Success is one of the most difficult and challenging aspects of our life. There are external factors that pretend to enforce on us an idea of success that is confusing and wrong, family, friends, partners, society, in general, make us believe that success is determined by wealth, possessions, fame, recognition, titles, diplomas, power and influence, and we grow up thinking these are the rights things to pursue in life, our goals, when...
Embracing Failure - Creativity Roots - S1E4
8/7/2018
Failure can be either a perception or an attitude and it only happens in our brain and later it manifest in our life.
We must understand how failure was first implanted in our mind as a concept at a very early age, how it works in our perception and how the fear of it is one of the first and strongest creativity inhibitors. To overcome the fear of failure and redefine it's meaning is one of the first and biggest steps in acknowledging our innate capacity of being creative.
Failure is a...

Brain Gymnastics - Creativity Roots - EP-3
8/1/2018
I closed the previous episode with the claim that creativity makes us better human beings, which sounds a lot like self-help voodoo, since that’s not what we are doing here, in this episode we talk about what is the process taking place in our brain when we start engaging with creative work. I clarify that creativity is not exclusively what an artist produce but also what scientists or anybody in any other discipline or practice can use or do by innovating, by doing things differently and...
Maslow knew it long ago, creativity it’s a human need - Creativity Roots - EP-2
8/1/2018
I can not think of a better way to start making the case of creativity being not only an essential part of our existence but in fact a human need, than talking about Maslow and his pyramid of human needs.
The American psychologist Abraham Maslow created what is called the Maslow Pyramid of Human Needs in which he identifies the basic human necessities for survival, well being and motivation. In this diagram, he organized those needs from the most primordial and basic ones such as food, air,...

The ultimate intention is to encourage...
