Ever wondered what helps bring out our creative juices? Well, this cinnamon study surely brings out the psychology in the process of being the best in any task we need to do.
One group was given a vial of cinnamon to smell and another was told that the cinnamon would increase the creativity. As a result, the second group performed much better than the other that only smelt the cinnamon.
