About the Guest
Fredrik Haren is a global keynote speaker, author of The Idea Book, and the upcoming The World of Creativity. Known as The Creativity Explorer, Fredrik has traveled to over 75 countries to study how creativity expresses itself across cultures. He lives on a private island in Sweden and helps people unlock their innate creative power through engaging talks and thought leadership.

 

Key Takeaways :

• Creativity is not just a skill—it’s what makes us human. Fredrik shares that being authentically you will naturally result in unconventional expression, making creativity a path to self-actualization.

• Cultures may value structure differently, but creativity exists everywhere. Fredrik breaks the myth that tradition inhibits innovation by highlighting examples like Swiss watchmakers redefining perfection.

• Resourcefulness is creativity in action. Fredrik self-funded a book by securing pre-orders before writing a single word—proof that ideas matter more than money.

• Failure isn't failure for creative minds—it’s feedback. Real-world stories, like a Catalan glass artist's breakthrough after frustration, show how emotional turning points can fuel innovation.

• Let go of “creative anxiety.” Inspired by a Thai origami artist’s practice of “idea naps,” Fredrik encourages embracing sabai sabai—taking creative blocks lightly and trusting the process.
