This engaging Jonah Lehrer keynote speech proposes that those who are the most knowledgeable and embedded in a certain subject are not always the right people to solve a problem in that field.
As an Oxford University grad and best-selling author the speaker often lectures on the benefits of altering the way that one approaches the creative thought process. He cites that venturing outside of one's comfort zone is often the most effective way to accomplish a goal. By removing oneself from a problem literally, physically as well as mentally, different and innovative solutions will present themselves than those otherwise encountered.
By approaching an issue from a perspective that is removed from the core of the subject matter, for example, being a foreigner discussing the politics of their new country, one can see things in a different light. The speaker also states that cultural experiences and broadening horizons are key components to expanding one's creativity.
