Description
This groundbreaking guide to creativity reveals the patterns that drive the creative process through the lives of seven extraordinary individuals. Howard Gardner's work challenges traditional notions of intelligence, and in "Creating Minds", he offers a path-breaking view of creativity.
Through riveting portraits of Sigmund Freud, Albert Einstein, Pablo Picasso, Igor Stravinsky, T.S. Eliot, Martha Graham, and Mahatma Gandhi, Gardner examines the disparate creative breakthroughs of each individual, shedding light on their achievements and helping to elucidate the modern era.
By focusing on the moment of each creator's most significant breakthrough, Gardner discovers patterns crucial to our understanding of the creative process. He shows how unusual combinations of intelligence and personality, as well as the role of circumstance, contribute to extraordinary creativity - often at a great human cost.
