The neuroscientist host ofThe Brain and author of Incognito teams up with an award-winning composer in a wide-ranging exploration of human creativity that takes inspiration from a range of disciplines to identify the principles guiding human creativity and how individuals, organizations and education can benefit from creativity-based approaches. - Perseus Publishing
âThe authors look at art and science together to examine how innovationsâfrom Picassoâs initially offensive paintings to Steve Jobsâs startling iPhoneâbuild on what already exists and rely on three brain operations: bending, breaking and blending. This manifesto . . . shows how both disciplines foster creativity.â âThe Wall Street Journal

David Eagleman and Anthony Brandt seek to answer the question: what lies at the heart of humanityâs abilityâand driveâto create?
Our ability to remake our world is unique among all living things. But where does our creativity come from, how does it work, and how can we harness it to improve our lives, schools, businesses, and institutions?
Eagleman and Brandt examine hundreds of examples of human creativity through dramatic storytelling and stunning images in this beautiful, full-color volume. By drawing out what creative acts have in common and viewing them through the lens of cutting-edge neuroscience, they uncover the essential elements of this critical human ability, and encourage a more creative future for all of us. - Perseus Publishing
