However, it is also one of the ways we make sense of the world and act in it. Hence why it is a facet of Openness/Intellect in the the Big 5 and correlated with creativity. (DeYoung et al. 2012)

It's part of the #GreaterThan #Jamboree. We have 2 separate sessions on Friday the 14th and 21st July in different timezones.

These challenges bring out automatic responses and mindsets. But if we dig a little deeper, they present new ways of seeing and allow us to break free of our underlying patterns.
