Creative work has a built-in emotional trap
<p>In this episode of Rebel, Reject, Create, David Chislett speaks with Professor Mark Deuze, Professor of Media Studies at the University of Amsterdam and author of a book exploring how creative work can be both deeply meaningful and damaging to people’s health.The conversation looks at the hidden cost of turning creativity into a career. Mark explains why people in creative industries often feel grateful to do the work while also suffering because of it. He challenges the romantic myth of the tortured creative, arguing instead that the real problem lies in the structure of the industries themselves.David and Mark discuss burnout, autonomy, unfair decision-making, fear-driven leadership, discrimination, bullying, mental health literacy, psychosocial safety and the urgent need for sustainable creative careers. This is a sharp, necessary conversation for anyone working in media, culture, journalism, music, film, games, advertising, design or the arts.Find the book here:https://intellectdiscover.com/content/books/9781835951934More about David Chislett here:https://davidchislett.com</p>

Creativity requires presence, not escape
<p>In this episode of Rebel, Reject, Create, David Chislett speaks with creative director and designer Rakesh Kanhai about psychedelics, creativity, mental health, and the growing pressure placed on creatives in modern society.After organising an event in Amsterdam exploring the relationship between psychedelics and artistic practice, Rakesh shares his own deeply personal experiences with ayahuasca, LSD, psilocybin, and cannabis — including the dangers of dependency, the importance of integration, and why he believes these substances should never become mere productivity tools.The conversation explores spirituality, addiction, self-reflection, creativity, consumer culture, indigenous knowledge, and what it really means to grow as a human being and artist.This is not a conversation glorifying drugs.It’s a conversation about consciousness, coping, healing, and responsibility.Follow Rakesh on Instagram for more info:https://www.instagram.com/dj_kesh</p>
