The Creative Adventure
The Creative Adventure, Part Two: Birth and
Re-Birth is now complete. This new video produced by Adventures in Creativity, Inc.
and Crawford Productions, Inc., compliments The Creative Adventure, Part One, Love and Conception with
John G. Young, M.D., which won
The International Cindy Award, The Communicator Award and The Telly Award.
In The Creative Adventure, a two-part, two hour video, Dr. John G. Young, a board-certified psychiatrist and consultant on creativity, innovation and change, develops the original conception that love is essential to emotionally healthy creative functioning. He shows you how to develop maximum effectiveness using creative and innovative approaches.
Part One: Love and Conception answers the questions,
"What is creativity?" "Why is creativity important?" and
"How can you become more creative?" It takes the attitude that
everyone has creative abilities, but we can all improve
our creative approaches. You will find how to update
your problem solving techniques to enhance productivity,
decrease stress and avoid future shock.
Dr. Young tells the story of "creativity" creatively, using a multimedia approach of artworks, graphics, animation, music and poetry. He shows
you why you must make a personal commitment to bring into
being that something new and valuable we call "creative."
His personal presentation shows you how to live the creative
adventure. He believes you cannot be creative without involving
your whole being in what you do. Only those who have a passion
for what they are doing will be creative.
Highlights of The Creative Adventure,
Part One: Love and Conception
- An original concept of love and creative conception
- What is creativity, why it is important and how you can become more creative
- Managing change so it won't manage you
- Ordinary problem solving, creative problem solving and innovative thinking
- Avoiding the adequacy trap and ultimate disaster

The Creative Adventure, Part Two: Birth and Re-Birth begins where Part One left off at the incubation stage of the creative process. Techniques learned in Part One: Love and Conception can lead to new levels of integration, but sometimes you find yourself unable to see the forest for the trees. Then it is important to back off or take a different approach.
This second part of the program extends the investigation into creative approaches, but shifts the focus to the being side of creativity. We move from the creative process to the creative person. We look more at the "Krainen" aspect of fulfillment, and explore attitudes
necessary to creative living, learning and loving. At this level living with purpose is as important as accomplishing a goal; the process becomes as important as the product.
