Goodreads asked Victor Shamas:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Victor Shamas March 16, 1987. I had a revelation that changed my life and served as the inspiration for "Deep Creativity." Because of this revelation, I changed fields from chemistry to psychology and moved from the Pacific Northwest to the Arizona desert to work with one of the world's leading consciousness researchers.

Two decades ago, I sat down to write "Deep Creativity" but came to the realization that I did not yet have the knowledge I needed in order to bring this project to completion. At that point, I began immersing in the creative process on a daily basis so that I could gain deeper insights into the nature of that process. Besides an explosion of productivity on my part (books, music, videos, educational materials, non-profit organizations, and global events), this decision led to some extraordinary discoveries about the inner workings of human creativity.
