This roundup was truly a gift! Thank you for providing these summaries and keeping us fascinated. I loved all of them, but I was moved to action by #8 as it reminded me I’m long overdue for enjoying a live concert! Thank you again!

I love this kind of post! It’s such a gift from someone with your experience. From these 10, #4 stood out as the most interesting to me. It’ll keep me motivated to keep surrounding myself with good people.

Hi Scott. I REALLY appreciate this format. I acknowledge my attention span is rather goldfishy these days. Still, I love the summary/caveats and the links to the entire publications. This allows my brain to nibble and then dig into something that really interests me! BTW- I loved meeting you at the Learning and the Brain conference on Creativity years ago. I've been following you since. Your work and straightforwardness are appreciated beyond measure. Peace 🙂

Beautiful work Scott! This is the stuff that stops and makes me think... I will sig with it... then might need a brisk walk to find out what I will apply 😁

I love this format of a roundup! I loved reading about #1, 3 and 4… and I appreciated your caveats about each one. Thanks for this!

I love that we are finding ways to study these important concepts. Data is so powerful.

Thank you Scott for this collection - the walking one and the support one reaffirmed what I already believed (and who doesn't love that!). I've also always been curious about the attraction of live music - I'd assumed it was more about the listening with lots of other people, so to find out that just the live v recorded makes a difference is fascinating.

What a gift this is to us folk who don’t take psychological journals to bed with them for some light nightime reading! Thankyou, Scott, as always, for sharing your studies and insights and brightening our minds. 🙏

Really love this offering! Thank you. I love walking. I find it frees my mind to connect with so many other physical and sensory dimensions and perspectives. Makes sense that creativity would result.
