Omschrijving

Genius 101 makes for a great read on a centuries-old scientific puzzle - as well as a lively text on the wellsprings and manifestations of genius."

Teresa M. Amabile, PhD
The Edsel Bryant Ford Professor of Business Administration
Harvard Business School

Are geniuses born or made?
How do psychologists measure "genius"?
Is it "genius," or is it "madness"?

Genius," contrary to common belief, is not strictly a matter of intelligence. Intellect, personality, creativity, even serendipity play a significant role in molding a genius. So, what does it mean to be a genius?

Genius 101 examines the many definitions of "genius," and the multiple domains in which it appears, including art, science, music, business, literature, and the media. Dr. Simonton introduces the study of genius theory and the research supporting it, using non-scientific, accessible language-fit for a non-genius.
