Boy Wonder: Andrew Garfield

Boy Wonder: Andrew Garfield | The Creative Mind | Scoop.it

'Better known as Eduardo Saverin in The Social Network alongside Jesse Eisenberg, Andrew Garfield is the new Spiderman....He said the character saved his life: "It was a symbol of what got me through tough times in terms of being a skinny kid." He was bullied "because I was very confused when I first went to school, and there was a kid who was just mean and I just didn't understand it, and right into my teenage years, where I would be mugged on the street, or when I was 17 or 18 and I was in drama school..."

 

The interviewer writes, "Garfield confesses that he has always been an over-sensitive soul... He found validation in acting, but the oversensitivity was still there."

Directing our feelings and thinking to be more creative

Directing our feelings and thinking to be more creative | The Creative Mind | Scoop.it

Do you remember how much you felt and thought as a child? Probably a lot, especially if you were gifted and creative. As an adult, we may have learned to cover up or set aside much of our inner life, in order to get along with others and do our jobs.

 

But if we want to be more fully alive and creative, it can really help to understand and stay in charge of our thinking and feelings.

Marci Segal, MS's curator insight, April 16, 2013 7:57 AM

What if, eh?  Wouldn't it be nice to take people's emotions into account when leading them through creative process?  Wouldn't it be great if people could deliberately springboard from their emotions to inform their creative process and manage their expectations/experience?

This article notes, "Dr. Elaine Aron, along with other researchers studying the trait of high sensitivity, often cites the statistic that approximately 15-20% of the population fits the defintion of a "highly sensitive person." Furthermore, the indications are that equal numbers of men and women are highly sensitive."
