This week on Being Human, I interview Professor Ruth Ann Atchley from the University of South Florida. Ruth Ann is the author of the much-cited paper "Creativity in the Wild":
- the first scientific study to find a link between creativity and exposure to nature,
- discovering a 50% increase in creative reasoning after four days of hiking and no tech.
We also explore:
- The importance of "softly fascinating" stimuli to replenish our attentional resources
- The imperative to get away from the 'hijacking' effect of modern tech
- Why it's not just about being in nature
Enjoy!
