Eight Habbits of Creative Genius

The following eight strategies encourage you to think productively, rather than
reproductively, in order to arrive at solutions to problems. "These strategies are common
to the thinking styles of creative geniuses in science, art, and industry throughout
history."

Look at problems in many different ways,
and find new perspectives that no one else has taken (or no one else has publicized!).
Leonardo da Vinci believed that, to gain knowledge about the form of a problem, you
begin by learning how to restructure it in many different ways. He felt that the first way
he looked at a problem was too biased. Often, the problem itself is reconstructed and
becomes a new one.

Visualize!
When Einstein thought through a problem, he always found it necessary to formulate his
subject in as many different ways as possible, including using diagrams. He visualized
solutions, and believed that words and numbers as such did not play a significant role in
his thinking process.

Produce!
A distinguishing characteristic of genius is productivity. Thomas Edison held 1,093
patents. He guaranteed productivity by giving himself and his assistants idea quotas. In
a study of 2,036 scientists throughout history, Dean Keith Simonton of the University of
California at Davis found that the most respected scientists produced not only great
works, but also many "bad" ones. They weren't afraid to fail, or to produce mediocre in
order to arrive at excellence.

Make novel combinations.

Combine, and recombine, ideas, images, and thoughts into different combinations no
matter how incongruent or unusual. The laws of heredity on which the modern science of
genetics is based came from the Austrian monk Grego Mendel, who combined
mathematics and biology to create a new science.

Form relationships;

make connections between dissimilar subjects. Da Vinci forced a relationship between
the sound of a bell and a stone hitting water. This enabled him to make the connection
that sound travels in waves. Samuel Morse invented relay stations for telegraphic
signals when observing relay stations for horses.
Think in opposites.

Physicist Niels Bohr believed, that if you held opposites together, then you suspend your
thought, and your mind moves to a new level. His ability to imagine light as both a
particle and a wave led to his conception of the principle of complementarity.
Suspending thought (logic) may allow your mind to create a new form.

Think metaphorically.
Aristotle considered metaphor a sign of genius, and believed that the individual who had
the capacity to perceive resemblances between two separate areas of existence and link
them together was a person of special gifts.

Prepare yourself for chance.
Whenever we attempt to do something and fail, we end up doing something else. That is
the first principle of creative accident. Failure can be productive only if we do not focus
on it as an unproductive result. Instead: analyze the process, its components, and how
you can change them, to arrive at other results. Do not ask the question "Why have I
failed?", but rather "What have I done?"

Psychology: MENTAL REHEARSAL TECHNIQUE

One technique taught by Brian Tracy in the Psychology ofAchievement. 
Technique is called Mental Rehearsal Technique. If we want to deal with
an important matter, such as sales presentation, interviews, etc., 
imagine in your mind a picture of what will happen with as clear, 
lively and often as possible, for example: how do you give a presentation
 attitude, how people view You, how people impressed with your presentation,
 and so on, with as clear, lively and often as possible. The higher the emotions/
feelings you are involved in mental Rehearsal is, the better the results. Furthermore, 
subconsious mind we will help realize in real life what we have imagined in 
detail in the mental Rehearsal.

Life: The How of Happiness

Dr. Sonja Lyubomirsky

Is It Possible to Become Happier?

Different cultures have different beliefs about the importance of happiness. People in some cultures, like Russia, are less likely to believe that happiness is a reasonable, desirable, or attainable goal to pursue.

Most of us aren't flourishing. Nationally representative samples of U.S. adults indicate that slightly more than half of us (54%) are "moderately mentally healthy yet not flourishing - that is, we lack great enthusiasm for life and are not actively and productively engaged with the world.

Studies show that 50% of individual differences in happiness are determined by genes, 10% by life circumstances, and 40% by our intentional activities.

Rich people aren't as happy as we'd expect. The richest Americans, those earning more than 10 million dollars annually, report levels of personal happiness only slightly greater than the office staffs and blue-collar workers they employ.

Marriage doesn't make us as happy as we think. Although married people are happier than single ones, the effect of marriage on personal happiness is actually quite small; for example, in 16 countries, 25% of married people and 21% of singles described themselves as "very happy."

 Happy people accrue more money. One example of such a "happiness benefit" is that those who are happy as college freshmen have higher salaries 16 years later (when they are in their mid-30s) without an initial wealth advantage.

How Happy Are You and Why?

 Money brings problems to the very rich. In a study of 792 well-off adults, more than half reported that wealth didn't bring them more happiness, and a third of those with assets greater than $10 million said that money bought more problems than it solved.

Happy people think they're better looking than they are. Happier people rate themselves as more attractive than do their less happy peers, but objective judges cannot tell the difference.

Practicing Gratitude and Positive Thinking

 In the days after 9/11, gratitude and sympathy were the most common emotions. In the days immediately after September 11, 2001, gratitude was found to be the second most commonly experienced emotion (after sympathy).

Overthinking (i.e., rumination) ushers in a host of adverse consequences: It sustains or worsens sadness, fosters negatively-biased thinking, impairs a person's ability to solve problems, saps motivation, and interferes with concentration and initiative.

Happy people care less about others' successes. Happy people are less affected by unfavorable social comparisons (e.g., observing a peer who is worse off) than unhappy ones.

Investing in Social Connections

Satisfied and stable couples are relatively more likely to idealize each other.

 Hugs make people happier. Students at Penn State who were instructed to give or receive a minimum of five hugs per day over the course of four weeks and to record the details became much happier. Students who merely recorded their reading activity showed no changes.

Living in the Present

 Reminiscing benefits older people. The more time older adults spend reminiscing, the more positive affect and higher morale they report.

The practice of repetitively replaying your happiest life events serves to prolong and reinforce positive emotions and make you happier, whereas systematically analyzing your happiest life events has the reverse effect.

People high in mindfulness - that is, those who are prone to be mindfully attentive to the here and now and keenly aware of their surroundings - are models of flourishing and positive mental health.

 Studies have shown that nostalgic experiences spawn positive feelings, reinforce our sense of being loved and protected, and even boost our self-esteem.

Taking Care of Your Body and Your Soul

Religious people are happier, healthier, and cope better with trauma.

 Half of us feel worse, not better, when we exercise. In one study, participants were asked to cycle at 60% of their maximum heart rate. Over the course of 30 minutes, half the participants reported feeling progressively better, and half claimed to feel progressively worse.

 Botox lifts hard-core depression. Ten clinically depressed women whose depressions had not responded to treatment by either drugs or psychotherapy were administered Botox to their frown lines. Two months later, 9 out of the 10 participants were no longer depressed, and the tenth had much improved.

The Hows Behind Sustainable Happiness

 Friends triple our chances for keeping weight off. Participants undertook a 4-month-long weight loss program involving diet, exercise, and behavioral changes. Of those who embarked on the program alone, 76% completed it and 24% maintained their weight losses in full for an entire 6 months. In contrast, of those who engaged in the weight loss program with three acquaintances, friends, or family members, 95% completed it and 66% maintained their weight losses in full.

It's maladaptive to be too happy.

Contrary to popular belief, most people who repeatedly try to kick habits are successful. Schachter found a 63% success rate for self-cure of smoking and obesity, and Klem et al. found that 43% of people who had kept off 30 pounds for at least 5 years reported that maintaining the weight was easier than losing it.
