Monk and the Warrior in the Garden of Renewal

This book is a structural analysis of creativity. It proposes that there are five essential recursive confluent macrosystems that require interconnectedness and intentional evolution for the fruition of creativity of mastery of self-efficacy and of spiritual self-growth. The five systems are: (1) knowledge (2) mental operations (3) rich emotional worlds (4) a sense of purpose and (5) connecting with others. This text includes an overview of previous research on creativity while proposing a new theory based on confluence theory the belief that creativity is best understood as an intersection and recursive interaction among confluencing systems.
