Creativity verses talent

Recently I have been re-reading Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi’s (2007)
book titled Creativity, he is also the author of Flow. Mihaly presents an interesting perspective of
creativity verses talent. He presents
the idea that talent is different from creativity. Using the example of the pianist Mozart who,
Mihaly states, was talented but that Mozart’s talent does not imply that he was
also creative. What I make of this is that talent is not a necessary ingredient
for creativity. Being creative can and
does occur with or without talent. |
