Creativity isn’t born from illness—it thrives on health and joy. The Glad Genius Thesis challenges the myth of the "mad genius," celebrating creativity as the pinnacle of human flourishing. Rooted in Humanistic and Positive Psychology, this podcast sees creativity as the result of a thriving mind, not turmoil. Through discussions, interviews, and book reviews, we explore how great creators succeeded in spite of mental struggles, not because of them. Join us in redefining creativity as a force of vitality, inspiration, and self-actualization.
