Listen "A Tea Master's Lesson On Perfectionism"
Episode Synopsis
Send us a textIn this episode of the Gifted Creative Podcast we explore the destructive nature of perfectionism in society and its negative impact on creativity, human intelligence, and holistic growth. The episode delves into historical examples, such as 16th century Japan's tea master Sen No Rikyu, to illustrate how an obsession with perfection is unhealthy. The podcast emphasizes that true beauty and intelligence come from imperfections and integrated thinking, not from artificial perfection. It critiques the current educational system for fragmenting children's natural holistic intelligence, which stifles creative genius and leads to various mental and physical health issues. It calls for a shift away from rigid, perfectionist thinking towards embracing multidimensional intelligence, which it argues is essential for personal and societal survival in times of profound change.Support the showGiftedND.comcopyright 2025
