Jack Martin Leith

Greetings from Bristol in the west of England. This is Jack Martin Leith, innovation practitioner and creator of Newcreate, a mind-body-spirit way of transcending the mundane, creating the new and enriching the world, or a particular piece of it, with value, meaning and joy.

Newcreate can be understood as:

  • A create-the-new philosophy.
  • A create-the-new practice.
  • An ‘enrich the world’ way of living.

When cynicism intrudes, remember this

Newcreate combines mainstream innovation principles and practices with radical ideas that can easily be dismissed as spiritual fiction, pseudoscientific fallacy or utopian fantasy.

Profound insights might be rejected because they were voiced by Carlos Castaneda (“He made it all up!”), Napoleon Hill (“Positive thinking doesn’t work!”), angels (“They don’t exist!”) or some other controversial source.

If you should find yourself triggered by something you read on this website, remember these words of wisdom from DesignShop co‑originator Matt Taylor:

The only valid test of an idea, concept, or theory is what it enables you to do.
