Drawing from decades of nature journaling, John Muir Laws explains how sketching, writing, mapping, and asking questions on paper can expand our capacity to notice, learn, and connect.The conversation ranges from Leonardo da Vinci's notebooks and Steinbeck's journals to the neuroscience of learning, creativity, and distributed cognition. This is an invitation to slow down, cultivate curiosity, and discover how creativity grows through practice, observation, and sustained attention to the world around us.
