Daymark Press Announces the Release of The Language of Man: Learning to Speak Creativity
Arlington, VA (PRWEB) November 30, 2016 -- From global leaders to parents, creativity is consistently cited as the most important skill in a fast moving, increasingly complex world. But what is creativity? Who is creative? And how can anyone create anything, anytime, anywhere? Award-winning author Larry Robertson reveals the answers in his new book, The Language of Man: Learning to Speak Creativity.
Robertson’s approach is unique. Rather than offer a single story of creativity or promise a formula for how to create, he shows the patterns of creativity across many fields – those critical but easily overlooked ‘simple truths’ behind how it works, no matter where it occurs. Even more valuable, in a book New York Times bestselling author Brigid Schulte calls “utterly captivating,” Robertson “shows how creativity, more than anything, is a mindset, a habit, a choice, and the limitless and necessary birthright of us all.”
Backed by broad and deep research, The Language of Man focuses on what creativity is like in actual practice. And to make that “bracingly concrete,” Robertson introduces readers to more than 60 MacArthur Fellows, recipients of so-called ‘genius award.’ Their experiences in the trenches of creativity make their insights credible and more, useable. But it’s their message to readers that, rather than geniuses, they are ‘just like you’ that may be the most valuable message of all.
Readers who are on a quest to unlock their own creativity don’t want to miss this thought-provoking book now available everywhere books are sold.

Advanced Praise
“Within the first few pages of his fascinating new book, The Language of Man, Larry Robertson shatters deeply-held myths that creativity and genius are the birthright of a mere handful of elites, bringing the vaunted notion of genius out of the clouds and into our everyday lives. In a carefully constructed argument, backed by wide-ranging research from neuroscience to philosophy and the engaging stories of some of the most creative people on the planet, Robertson instead shows how creativity, more than anything, is a mindset, a habit, a choice, and the limitless and necessary birthright of us all. The accessibility of creativity this book reveals and the possibility it opens our eyes to are utterly captivating.”
