Jordan Peterson The Jordan B. Peterson Podcast · Jun 2021 Why people recommend it
Wired to Create by Dr. Scott Barry Kaufman and Carolyn Gregoire explores the complex, often contradictory minds of highly creative individuals and examines how they contain multitudes of diverse personality traits. On an episode of Modern Wisdom, David Epstein discussed the book, sharing how much he loved it because it highlights the multifaceted nature of creative people whose psychological profiles defy simple categorization and standard personality tests. Epstein recommended the work to listeners while exploring related themes of specialization and cognitive flexibility. Additionally, Jordan Peterson mentioned the text during an episode of The Jordan B. Peterson Podcast, specifically while introducing Dr. Scott Barry Kaufman in an episode titled Intimations of Creativity. Peterson noted that Kaufman wrote the book with Carolyn Gregoire in 2016 to unravel the mysteries of the creative mind, positioning it alongside Kaufman's earlier 2013 publication, Ungifted: Intelligence Redefined. Both podcast appearances highlighted the academic and accessible contributions of Kaufman's exploration into human psychology, creativity, and the unconventional ways that brilliant minds operate within society and structure their daily intellectual pursuits.
