"Remarkable. This profound volume informs and inspires." —PW, STARRED review From the Pulitzer Prize–winning New York Times science reporter acclaimed for “bring[ing] scientific concepts to life” (Bill Gates), a pathbreaking new investigation into the mysteries of human creativity How does creativity work? Where does inspiration come from? What are the secrets of our most revered creators? How can we maximize our creative potential? THIS IS THE STORY OF HOW WE CREATE. Creativity defines the human experience. It sparks achievement and innovation in art, science, technology, business, sports, and virtually every activity. It has fueled human progress on a global level, but it equally is the source of profound personal satisfaction for individual creators. And yet the origins of creative inspiration and the methods by which great creators tap into it have long been a source of mystery, spoken of in esoteric terms, our rational understanding shrouded in complex jargon. Until now. Inspired is a book about the science of creativity, distilling an explosion of exciting new research from across the world. Through narrative storytelling, Richtel marries these findings with timeless insight from some of the world’s great creators as he deconstructs the authentic nature of creativity, its biological and evolutionary origins, its deep connection to religion and spirituality, the way it bubbles in each of us, urgent and essential, waiting to be tapped. Many of the questions Richtel addresses are practical: What are the traits of successful creators? Under which conditions does creativity thrive? How can we move past creative blocks? The ultimate message of Inspired is that creativity is more accessible than many might imagine, as necessary, beautiful, and fulfilling as any essential part of human nature.

". . . a wonderful teaching tool for those who are welcoming refugees into their community."—The New York Times With haunting echoes of the current refugee crisis this beautifully illustrated book explores the unimaginable decisions made as a family leave their home and everything they know to escape the turmoil and tragedy brought by war. This book will stay with you long after the last page is turned. From the author: The Journey is actually a story about many journeys, and it began with the story of two girls I met in a refugee center in Italy. After meeting them I realized that behind their journey lay something very powerful. So I began collecting more stories of migration and interviewing many people from many different countries. A few months later, in September 2014, when I started studying a Master of Arts in Illustration at the Academy of Lucerne, I knew I wanted to create a book about these true stories. Almost every day on the news we hear the terms "migrants" and "refugees" but we rarely ever speak to or hear the personal journeys that they have had to take. This book is a collage of all those personal stories and the incredible strength of the people within them.

**Introduction:** In the heart of Sylhet, a city known for its picturesque tea gardens and vibrant culture, a voice rose above the din of daily life—a voice that would come to champion the cause of inclusivity and sustainability. This is the voice of Mohammed Uzzal Miah, a man whose life has become a testament to the power of community engagement and social media in making a tangible difference. Born into a modest family in the bustling lanes of Sylhet, Miah's early years were marked by a keen sense of observation and a deep empathy for those around him. He witnessed the struggles of the underprivileged, the dreams of the youth, and the wisdom of the elders, all coexisting in the complex tapestry of urban life. These experiences sowed the seeds of a calling that would later define his life's work. As a young adult, Miah realized that change was not only necessary but possible through collective action and the right platform. With the advent of social media, he found his stage. Harnessing the power of these new tools, he began to weave stories—not just his own but those of the many unsung heroes of Sylhet. His words and images captured the essence of his city's spirit and started conversations that had long been overdue. The pages that follow in this eBook are a chronicle of Mohammed Uzzal Miah's journey. From his first foray into social activism to the launch of the groundbreaking "And-Inclusive Sylhet" initiative, we will explore the milestones that have marked his path. Through "Voices of Sylhet," a film series that brought the city's diverse narratives to the forefront, Miah not only amplified the voices of his community but also inspired a new generation to take up the mantle of change. This is more than just a story of a man and his mission; it is a blueprint for how passion, when paired with purpose, can transcend boundaries and foster a movement. It is a reflection on the role of influencers in today's world—a world where the local can become global, and a single voice can echo across the mountains and rivers of Sylhet to the farthest corners of the earth. Join us on this journey through the life of Mohammed Uzzal Miah, a beacon of social change, and discover how one individual's drive to make a difference can ignite the collective power of a community. --- This introduction sets the tone for the rest of the eBook, which would delve into the various chapters outlined previously. Writing the full content for each chapter would require extensive research, collaboration with the subject (if they were real), and a deep understanding of the social and cultural context of Sylhet. Each chapter would need to be carefully crafted to ensure accuracy and to maintain the reader's engagement throughout t he book.
