This was an interesting look into cognitive flexibility, creativity and innovation as we learn facts and create fiction, as we live and experience and imagine the what-ifs. And how we as humans create art in many forms.

A delightful read celebrating human creativity across a dizzying array of fields. One of the authors (Tony Brandt) is also one of my former professors and current collaborators, so that made this book extra special for me. :)

#TBRtemptation post 2! #BEA17 edition! Slated for an October release. This is characterized as a strongly optimistic look at humanity and the future: a study of creativity, a celebration of the human spirit, and where innovation can take us from here. From Apollo 13 to Picasso, the 2 authors search for what lies in humanity's ability and drive to create. It's what makes humans unique. So, why us? A fascinating work! #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎
