My formal education began in Prairie Village, Kansas (where I learned to read and write) and ended at Harvard University (where I received a PhD in psychology). However, the journey in between took half a century; you’re never too old to go back to school and follow your dream! Along the way I’ve had the opportunity to travel extensively (as a flight attendant and erstwhile vagabond) and raise two wonderful children (definitely an education in itself). And of course my informal education is still a work in progress!
I am fortunate enough to have a career I find so exciting that I can’t wait to get going on my work each day! I teach and conduct research at Harvard on the topics of creativity and psychopathology. And, since 2006, I’ve also served as a senior subject matter expert for the Department-of-Defense project afterdeployment.org, which provides innovative online mental health assistance to service members returning from Iraq and Afghanistan.
I’m delighted to share with you some of the latest research about creativity in my new book Your Creative Brain. I hope you’ll enjoy the book! Please come visit me on my website shelleycarson.com and follow me on Twitter @ DrShelleyCarson.
