From scent to story, creativity guides our connection to each other. This episode of the Free Yourself Podcast, Jeff Miller sits down with Dr. Angus Fletcher, professor at Ohio State University, for a discussion on creativity, narrative thinking, artificial intelligence, and their love of honest storytelling. Dr. Fletcher challenges conventional ideas about creativity, emphasizing that narrative thinking is essential for true innovation and resilience.
Together they explore how modern education systems inadvertently stifle creativity and talk through practical ways to foster autonomy and resilience in students. Learn how classic literature, like Shakespeare’s Hamlet, serves therapeutic purposes by helping individuals process grief and trauma. You'll learn the primal importance of scent in evoking powerful emotional memories and its role in personal narratives.
Whether you’re an educator, student, storyteller, or anyone seeking deeper connections and creativity in your life, this episode offers actionable insights into harnessing the power of stories to build resilience, foster community, and enhance personal well-being.
