Скачать или смотреть The Link Between Mental Illness & Creativity

Anecdotal tales reveal a possible link between mental health conditions and creative skills, but is this assumption really valid?

This video is intended to summarize Chapter 5, Section 7 of my book Mental Architecture: Building the Mind One Moment at a Time
