The link is broken… I would like to read more on this as it is relevant to something that has been in my thoughts over the last week. Thanks!

I don’t like the idea of being less creative so I suppose it would be a good idea to have a good balance of both happy and sad feelings. I can recount situations where I felt pressure to be creative and experienced a lot of internal conflict while trying to produce a quick outcome. The article said something about mental shortcuts, so I wonder if people in positive moods have quicker minds?
