We once believed that intelligence and creativity were fixed. It was accepted that we were born with a certain capacity to learn, and we did the best we could with what we had. Now, we know differently. Since the 1990s, also known as “the decade of the brain,” we’ve discovered that we can actually increase our capacity for learning, problem solving, creativity, success, and happiness. Technological advances and a wealth of research have proven that innovation, critical thinking, and problem-solving are hardwired into each of us. We all have the same anatomy between our ears. What separates the best of us from the rest of us is how we use it.
