ARA Russia for Peace N° 0025 - 20.03.2026 - Anastasia Vanden Berghe: Creativity, Decision-Making, and the Thinking Mind

Episode #25

Hello, you are listening to the radio Ara. I am Marina Khomutova and this is a radio show ARA RUSSIA for peace. Today my guest is Anastasia Vanden Berghe, a PhD researcher in cognitive psychology studying creativity and its role in decision-making. Not just in the arts, but in a much broader sense, creativity is about problem-solving, innovation, and finding ideas that are both new and useful. Anastasia grew up in the United States after her family immigrated from Russia. Alongside her academic work, she is a trained artist exhibiting classical and abstract pieces, and a volunteer with Rotary, a global service organization active in Luxembourg and beyond. Today we’ll reflect on what creativity really means in a world that often rewards speed over depth, and whether creative thinking can help us make wiser, more human choices. Stay with us - this conversation might change the way you think about thinking itself. […]
