Younger children all want to become artists, but the older they grow the fewer choose such a career. The entire book is actually about rediscovering the right half of your brain. Design, Symphony, Play, etc. Very interesting read. I remember a similar quote from Daniel Pink’s “A Whole New Mind”.

One would hope that as adults we wouldn't let social connections inhibit our creativity or creative pursuits! What is more likely is that as we mature we fall prey to socialization inhibiting our individuality and quirkiness... and that IS a shame. Being true to ourselves - within reason and the constraints of a work environment - is the challenge. I'd be interested in hearing how your readers deal with this issue...... Thanks for posting this! Kevin Mark,

I agree totally with Epstein and yourself. I've seen it happen in my own life. Socialization from family and school mates. The Love & Belonging need, one of the needs on the Maslow Pyramid - it's a strong one. Its what drives us to want to fit in and mistakenly suppress some of our creativity. Very good post.
