Episode Details

Do you see yourself as creative? Or do you only associate creativity with art, performance, inventiveness or eccentricity, thinking it has little to do with you?

For author and home designer Austin Hill Shaw, creativity is at the very core of what it means to be human. Creativity matters because people are their happiest and most fulfilled when immersed in creative flow.

In this episode, Sean Fargo, the founder of Mindfulness Exercises, speaks with Austin Hill Shaw on the nature of creativity and how it intersects with our mindfulness and meditation practice.
