This series is about people who passed through a number of stages and reached a point where they did more than just survive – they began to flourish. What was it they had in common that led to their ability to flourish? I noticed that most but not all, engaged in some kind of creativity in a wider sense. It seemed to motivate them to get more out of their lives. This study is in its early stages and is by no means conclusive, however it does suggest that when we have devastating experiences, an urge to make more of life kicks in.
