Integrating philosophy and psychology to enhance creativity and innovation in entrepreneurship: the W.O.M.B. model

Abstract This study explores the intersection between philosophy, psychology, and entrepreneurship to promote creativity and innovation through the W.O.M.B. model (Well-being, Open-mindedness, Mindfulness, and Brilliance). Utilizing insights from Plato, Spinoza, Schopenhauer, and Winnicott, the model integrates classical theories with contemporary practices. The methodology includes an extensive literature review and the practical application of the model in educational and organizational contexts. The results indicate that the W.O.M.B. model can enhance the generation of innovative ideas and employee satisfaction. Practical implications include creating work environments that foster creativity, implementing mindfulness practices, and providing continuous emotional support to employees.
