The neuroscientist host of The 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. / / David Eagleman, a neuroscientist and New York Times best-selling author, teams up with composer Anthony Brandt in this powerful, wide-ranging exploration of human creativity. Taking inspiration from the arts, business, education, the space program, architecture, and even hairstyles, Eagleman and Brandt discover the principles guiding human creativity. They incisively explore how individuals, organizations, and education can benefit from increased creativity, and celebrate humanity’s spirit and unique ability to remake the world. / / “The authors look at art and science together to examine how innovations?from Picasso’s initially offensive paintings to Steve Jobs’s startling iPhone?build on what already exists and rely on three brain operations: bending, breaking and blending. This manifesto of sorts shows how both disciplines foster creativity.” ? The Wall Street Journal / The Runaway Species is a deep-dive into the creative mind, a celebration of the human spirit, and a vision of how we can improve our future by understanding and embracing our ability to innovate. Anthony Brandt and David Eagleman seek to answer the question: what lies at the heart of humanity’s abilityâ€"and driveâ€"to 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? / Brandt and Eagleman 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. / / TABLE OF CONTENTS: / / Table of ContentsIntroduction: What do NASA and Picasso have in common? 1 (12) Part I New Under the Sun 1 To innovate is human 13 (20) 2 The brain alters what it already knows 33 (22) 3 Bending 55 (19) 4 Breaking 74 (17) 5 Blending 91 (14) 6 Living in the B-hive 105 (28) Part II The Creative Mentality 7 Don't glue down the pieces 133 (14) 8 Proliferate options 147 (16) 9 Scout to different distances 163 (8) 10 Tolerate risk 171 (18) Part III Cultivating Creativity 11 The creative company 189 (26) 12 The creative school 215 (29) 13 Into the future 244 (8)Acknowledgments 252 (2)Image Credits 254 (6)Bibliography 260 (17)Notes 277 (9)Index 286 / /
