The Courage to Create
Read the insightsLife requires different kinds of courage, but the late psychologist Rollo May argued that none is more important than the courage to create. For May, courage is the fountainhead of all virtues, and imagination, far from simply icing on the existential cake, is the source of human achievement and meaning in our lives.
