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.

Playing Fields of the Mind : Unleashing Creativity and Imagination.

Is exuberance a gift that fuels genius, or does it blur the line between brilliance and mania? In this episode of The Glad Genius Thesis, we explore Exuberance: The Passion for Life by Kay Redfield Jamison, uncovering the biological, psychological, and societal dimensions of this intense and infectious trait.

Jamison examines how exuberance has driven creativity, leadership, and innovation across history while also posing risks when it tips into mania. From great scientific discoveries to artistic breakthroughs, this episode investigates how exuberance shapes the creative mind, the dangers of unrestrained passion, and the fine balance between inspiration and instability. Is exuberance essential for genius, or does it come at a cost?
