Ideation: The Creative Process of History's Greatest Thinkers

This video explores historical moments of ideation: how our greatest thinkers had their world-changing ideas. From Einstein, to Neils Bohr, to Darwin, to Archimedes, to Isaac Newton, to Nikola Tesla, and more. What can we learn from their creative process? What is the neuroscience behind a great idea?

Many of us try to "force" ideas when we need them. Unfortunately, this is actually the worst thing you can do as it will simply increase focussed and rigid thinking. When we relax, our thoughts explore more ideas, leading to moments of insight.

There is much more to ideation and the creative process than that though. Watch the full video for more!

Well this is the video I can't miss. Based on my expierience I have to agree.
Ideas happen when body is busy but brain wanders off to the distance. Right now we do the opposit. We make our brain busy watching memes and yt videos while our bodies degrade unused.

Whilst I enjoy the pure fitness videos I’m glad you do these ones as well about other human traits and self improvement. Keep it up still underrated and should have way more subscribers.

I'm studying for my CCNA while listening to this.. Great stuff man.

[TheDamianvain]

The shower or the toilet. Those are the two places that seem to be when ideas come flooding into mind. I've even began to keeping my phone within reach, so I can transfer those thoughts to my bullet journal.
Great video as usual and I look forward to reading the full blog on the website! Have a great evening.

Have u ever tried lucid dreaming and also creating a memory palace, could u do a video on these two subjects please as u have a great way of explaining these complex subjects

[Seraphim.of.the.desert]

I love your work. You are refining what it means to be a all together healthy human . In all aspects of life. Keep it up.

[MrTgrundy]

Hey man! Love your videos! Such an interesting topic (like everything else you explore). Just wondered when you're gonna finish the Nightwing series?

[Davlavi]

very nice would you do a video explaining more on productive meditation you mentioned

[milohookfish]

Im curious to know what you think of climbing trees and is there any training could train your golgi tendons to let you use more of your strength. Amazing video by the way

Ideas related to subject tend to emerge when brain is in rest, but the body isn't.
Like daydreaming.
Walking is the best practice for the brain to relax and body to be active.
Greatest ideas are end products of countless hours of practice.
Input: relevant info
Output: original idea
Conversations help forming connections between the information.

Cool topic. I have found that a lot of this stuff rings true in my own life. I always seem to come up with a solution to a problem I'm having when I take a break from it and do something else whether that's taking a walk, talking to someone, or doing the dishes haha Go default mode network!

[theonetrueshibe]

Very useful information, thank you. By the way, did you draw the thumbnail? It looks cool :D

[jeremycole]

You should do a Bane episode (since he grew up in a prison cell) and do a body weight workout regime. Like what you can only do with your body and a bed or a chair.

Imagine having big skull by hydrocephalus disease and than developing extraordinarily big and complex brain. Did you hear about that kid who was borned with only 2% of the brain and then his brain grew back after inserting drainage and forceful mental training? I read that the border of efficiency for human brain capacity is 3500cm3.

Aerodynamic sunglasses are so stylish xD That's the idea that popped up in my mind when watching this video
