My disconnection took the form of judgment, resentment, and fear: "A-R-T - how nice. I have a J-O-B - I'm doing real work." "I'm not the creative type."... Today, I'm reconnected with my creativity and it's transforming every part of my life."

Think Jar Collective: "The new RSA animate video, The Power of Outrospection is quite thought provoking and has gotten me thinking about all kinds of links between empathy and creativity.In the video, philosopher Roman Krznaric explores the idea that we live in a time that demands more empathic adventurers in all aspects of life. Empathy not just so we act better towards others, but also because it helps us create better innovations, services and quality of life. I was struck by the video because I think there is something in the zeitgeist these days that highlights the importance of empathy for creating."
