Creativity has a methodology. That’s the perspective I gained after reading two books (one from the Western world and one from the Eastern world) and having a conversation with a creative director.
In this episode, you’ll hear why creativity doesn’t belong only to artists, and how ordinary people can become more creative by finding the right medium, focus time, and inspiration.

创意是有方法论的。这是我在读了两本书（西方和东方世界）以及和创意总监的一次对话后得到的观点。
这期播客里，你可以听到：为什么创意不只属于艺术家，以及普通人如何通过找到合适的媒介、专注时间和灵感，让自己变得更有创造力。
