Creativity Is Really Just Persistence, And Science Can Prove It

"When insights seem to come out of nowhere—for instance, say, while you suds up in the shower—they, in fact, come from somewhere. An oft-cited paper by John Kounios of Drexel University and Mark Beeman of Northwestern University contends that ‘although the experience of insight is sudden and can seem disconnected from the immediately preceding thought, these studies show that insight is the culmination of a series of brain states and processes operating at different time scales.’

Expressed in plain English, this means that a single moment of insight is the result of thinking that happens before it—often, the authors state, due to reorganizing or restructuring the elements of a situation or problem. This echoes the favored Fast Company definition of creativity, that it’s finding the connections between seemingly unrelated things.”
