Advice Goddess Radio, LIVE, Tonight, 7-8 pm PT: Joshua Wolf Shenk On The Myth Of The Lone Genius And The Science Of Partnering Up For Greater Innovation And Success
Amy Alkon's Advice Goddess Radio: "Nerd Your Way To A Better Life!" with the best brains in science.
Joshua Wolf Shenk uses science, fascinating true stories of creative partnerships, and historical evidence to dispel the myth of the lone genius and show that creativity is not the work of an individual mind. It is, in fact, a social activity, and two people, working together, are truly "greater than the sum of their parts."
Join us tonight to find out what it takes to be a creative partner -- and in turn, how to be far more than you can be alone.
Shenk's book we'll be discussing is Powers of Two: Finding the Essence of Innovation in Creative Pairs.
Previously, he was the author of Lincoln's Melancholy: How Depression Challenged a President and Fueled His Greatness, a New York Times Notable Book.
