MARTIN LAWRENCE EDITION

Conceived to be used while you are high - however you get there. This guided journal is filled with over 50 creative thinking exercises that will provide hours of fun, increase your creativity, and build more productive habits.

You don’t have to be high on cannabis to use this journal. It’s all about getting into your flow state. You can also try meditation, exercise, music, nature, math, poetry, love, religion, sleep, play, yoga, mysticism, aromatherapy, baths, dancing, magnets, and space travel.

Why do we need this?

Creativity is a competitive edge in both life and work. It defines us as individuals and gives us a sense of accomplishment in everything we do.

Is this book for artists?

Creativity is not just for artists. It's for business people looking for a new way to close a sale; it's for engineers trying to solve a problem; it's for parents who want their children to see the world in more than one way. In the future of AI and outsourcing, creativity will be an essential skill that means job security in almost every profession.

How Does It Work?

You will engage in a series of fun, creative challenges designed to increase your creativity and build more productive habits. Each challenge pushes you to rethink how you see yourself and the world around you to uncover new possibilities and ideas. Throughout these exercises, we reveal misconceptions about creativity, annoying aspects of the mind that lead us to repress creative thinking, and the research behind these methods.

The methodology? Science?

These exercise techniques are borrowed from proven brainstorming, ideation, and innovation techniques across art, design, business, and science. Through a series of fun, creative challenges, you develop both an understanding of creativity and increase your ability. The principal learning mechanism is a series of "Think differents", where you are challenged to identify and change your own cultural, habitual, and normal patterns of thinking. These employ variations of proven tools, frameworks, and concepts to move you outside of your existing comfort zone and reawaken your innate creativity. The exercises involve observation, imagination, abstracting, pattern recognition, and analogies.

How else does this make the world better?

The company supports inner-city artists and other marginalized creative talents. We do artist endowments and promote them in our products, giving artists money to pursue their dreams.

How did you come up with this?

Pilgrim Soul Founder, Shawn Gold, has been a creative executive at many innovative companies- MySpace, Wattpad, Engadget, TechStyle - in these roles his teams were challenged with creating businesses and methodologies that previously did not exist. To do this he became a student of ideation techniques, studying the best available books and research on creativity, brainstorming, and innovation. Through all this, he never found one that was broadly accessible and fun to use. So he created his own, using the most interesting, proven ideation techniques…made more fun.
