If YES, How can we be more creative, original and inventive with respect to our work/studies/research/daily life? 3.

Also, life (am working now) seems to be quite linear and monotonic nowadays.

How do you feel about a device that can increase creativity in individuals? Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation is a type of brain stimulation that I've only recently heard about. It sounds like a very useful invention. From what I read, it can have strong beneficial effects on addiction, depression, ADHD, and several other debilitating disorders. What shocked me, though, is the claim that it can increase creativity within 15 minutes by increasing brain activity in the right hemisphere of the brain. How do you feel about that?

However, I know those are things that either a) I can probably not realistically make a living on and b) are far fetched (you know, as in it's rare for someone to make it in those fields). So my question is are there other careers that would utilize my creativity and yet are more realistic goals? (and not based on the chance of being discovered you know?) Thanks! :)

Could someone please explain these politics to me in simpler terms, particularly how it pertains to classroom learning?

Reminder: by "you" I don't mean that I want your answer for people in general, I want to know about you, specifically, personally.

What happened to creativity in television commercials? These days the majority of tv ads I see are really awful - boring, poor taste, incomprehensible, pathetic, ridiculous. Every now and again you get a few great ads from the big players like beer companies, Coke (http://au.video.yahoo.com/video/play?vid=416244)....the rest I am struggling to think of. I am aware of the Greatest TV Commercials shows and various advertising awards, but they are few and far between. Great ads don't have to cost a fortune, but they need to be creative. What happened to the creativity from the 80s and 90s in TV advertisements?

Are creativity and bipolar disorder connected? How or why? I have been diagnosed with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, and I am a young, flourishing artist. I have also been noticing that people with higher intellect often seem to have a mental disorder of some sort, as well as people who are creative. I am writing a research paper for psychology, and would like to write about the connection between creativity and mental illness, bipolar disorder in particular. Is there really a connection, and if so, why?
