Ryan Long
Ryan Long: 讨论了创造力与努力工作的关系，认为在创造性领域，单纯的努力并不总是有效，甚至可能事倍功半。他提出了A型人格（不安全感过强的成功人士）和B型人格（懒惰的人）的区分，并指出A型人格需要学会放松，B型人格需要提升自律性。他还探讨了智商与创造力的关系，认为高智商并不一定等于高创造力，因为高智商者脑中连接过多，需要更多时间建立新的联系，而创造力恰恰需要建立新的联系。最后，他建议想要提升创造力的人首先要明确自己是否真的需要创造力，因为这需要付出很多牺牲。
Chris Williamson: 与Ryan Long讨论了创造力、努力工作以及A型/B型人格之间的关系，并就如何平衡工作与休息，提升创造力等问题进行了深入探讨。他积极参与讨论，并对Ryan Long的观点进行回应和补充，共同探讨了如何提升创造力以及在当今快节奏的社会中如何保持创造力的平衡。
