[1] Lecture: Creativity Process:
"Unlock Your Creative Genius with These Habits" Keith Sawyer（UNC, Chapel Hill))
This article is taken from the YouTube video of Professor Keith Sawyer's talk given at Future Frontiers 2017 event.
I transcribed the speech into English text and further translated it into Japanese.
Under the permission by Prof. Sawyer and FF, I am posting the lecture text both in English and in Japanese
"Creativity is not mysterious. You all can master it as habits and unlock your creativity genius." is his message.
It is a very well-prepared, excellent talk.
He talks about the Creative Process, as a life-long process where we wander around while encountering many different small
ideas and searching and seeking for something we do not know well at first.
He did not mention any 'structured process of creative problem solving'.
At various points on the Jig-Zag way of creative process (in Sawyer's sense) we can apply 'Structured' creative problem
solving methods effectively and successfully.
While noting this point, we wish to get the mind-set/practices/habits for the non-linear Creativity Process, advised here by
Professor Sawyer.
We will certainly be able to unlock our own Creative Genius.
[2] COVID-19 Pandemic: For Overcoming the Global Crisis: (Toru Nakagawa)

present stage in Japan, I think.)
