\\u201cEureka moments\\u201d have led to some of humanity\\u2019s greatest achievements in science, medicine, mathematics and the arts. But they\\u2019re not always that dramatic -- we\\u2019ve nearly all had the experience of solving a nagging problem in a flash of insight when we\\u2019re least expecting it. John Kounios, PhD, a professor of psychology at Drexel University, discusses how does this type of creative insight differs from more analytical thinking, where creative insight comes from in the brain, and how can you encourage more creativity in yourself and set yourself up to experience more of these \\u201caha moments.\\u201d
