Becoming Fully Human: Paradoxes of Creativity, Transcendence, Rejection with Scott Barry Kaufman – SuperSalon

Join cognitive scientist Scott Barry Kaufman and Interintellect host Ava as we discuss creativity, flourishing, and self-actualization.

Creativity and flow states are an important part of how we find meaning and purpose. In a time where new models for monetizing creative work are rapidly emerging, more and more people are looking to explore how they can align their work life with their personal calling. But pursuing the creative life, either part-time or full-time, can often be emotionally and logistically challenging.

In this salon with Scott Barry Kaufman—who has written books on both creativity and self-actualization—we’ll dive into the minds of artists and writers, the paradoxes of the creative process, and how surmounting the fear of rejection is necessary for flourishing.

Scott Barry Kaufman is a cognitive scientist, author, and popular science writer whose writing focuses on intelligence, creativity, and human potential. He is a professor at Columbia University and founder and director of the Center for the Science of Human Potential. He also runs the #1 psychology podcast in the world.
