About this audiobook
Innovation isn’t a mystery. It’s a biological state you can trigger.
Most people wait for inspiration or fight through creative blocks. But for the Cognitive Athlete, creativity is a neurochemical process that can be engineered.
In The Creative Current, citizen scientist Chris Taylor reveals a powerful 300-second framework to bypass mental resistance and unlock radical insights on demand.
Designed for creators, entrepreneurs, engineers, and innovators under pressure, this tactical blueprint shows you how to shift from rigid thinking into the “Current” of high-level creative flow.
Inside, you’ll discover:
• 5-minute protocols to silence the Inner Critic
• Practical systems for lateral thinking and hidden connections
• Dopamine-flow strategies for sustained deep work
• Rapid techniques to break creative blocks fast
• Environmental triggers for breakthrough “Aha!” moments
Stop waiting for inspiration.
Design the biology of your next great idea.
