Creative deep thinking: Talent support networks fostering the discovery of unexpected simplicity and the development of autonomy, integrity, and wisdom

Creative, deep thinking is generally considered to be important for a successful life. Importantly, deep thinking is not only useful to induce creative ideas at the level of the individual, but also mobilizes the wisdom of crowds at the societal level in the process of deliberative democracy. If creative deep thinking is paired with unexpected simplicity and a wisely focused, strong emotional background, it may inflict a new trend, and may strongly engage the followers’ self-concepts in the interest of the mission. Importantly, talent support networks need to organize discussions on major questions of mankind, allowing the practice of deep, contemplative, deliberative thinking, as well as the development and defense of moral judgments and wisdom. Guiding the mind toward unexpected simplicity is a part of the lifetime experience, which is called wisdom. Wisdom enables the individual to reach freedom from social pressure leading to independence, internal freedom, autonomy, and integrity. © 2017 by Taylor & Francis Group.
