Katina Bajaj is a scientist studying “creative health.” She looks at the role of play, fun, art, and creativity in our overall wellbeing. When was the last time you’ve gone on an “awe walk?” For&nbsp;Katina, carving out time where she’s not listening to music or podcasts on her walks but instead smelling the hydrangeas or allowing her mind to wander is a key way to destress. Katina joins Chris to talk about why adults are starved for creativity and why it’s important to push through the discomfort when trying something new for the first time.Featured guest<ul><li>Follow Katina Bajaj on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/katina.bajaj/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a>, <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/kmountanos/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a>, and at <a href="https://www.katinabajaj.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.katinabajaj.com/</a></li><li>Subscribe to Katina's Substack <a href="https://daydreamerspace.substack.com/about" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Creative Health</a></li><li>Watch Katina's <a href="https://www.ted.com/talks/katina_bajaj_how_play_boosts_your_creativity_and_resilience" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">TED Talk</a></li></ul>Connect with the team<ul><li>Follow Chris on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/chrisiduffy/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a> and at <a href="https://chrisduffycomedy.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">chrisduffycomedy.com</a></li><li>Buy Chris’ book, <a href="https://t.ted.com/ZGuYfcL" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Humor Me</a>&nbsp;</li><li>Watch How to Be a Better Human videos on YouTube at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/TEDAudioCollective" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">TEDAudioCollective</a></li><li>Follow TED on <a href="https://x.com/TEDTalks" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">X</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ted" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/TED" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Facebook</a>, <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/ted-conferences/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a>, and <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@tedtoks" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">TikTok</a></li></ul>For the full text transcript, visit <a href="https://go.ted.com/BHTranscripts" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">go.ted.com/BHTranscripts</a><hr> Hosted on Acast.
