Family environments and 鈥渄iversifying experiences鈥� (including the early death of a parent); intrinsic versus extrinsic motivations; schools that value assessments, but don鈥檛 assess the things we value.

To learn more, we examine the early years of Ai Weiwei, Rosanne Cash, Elvis Costello, Maira Kalman, Wynton Marsalis, Jennifer Egan, and others. (Ep. 2 of the 鈥淗ow to Be Creative鈥� series.)
