The Myth of the Muse

Supporting Virtues That Inspire Creativity

Creativity is crucial in helping students achieve success. The authors argue that creativity is not spontaneous or inborn but a process that can be cultivated by utilizing seven "virtues" that inspire creativity: curiosity, versatility, synthesis, discipline, collaboration, experimentation, and tenacity.
