- Shop more books in the same category: All Books, Humanities & Social Science
What makes geniuses different from the rest of us? What is the difference between a prodigy and a genius? Are geniuses born or made? What is creative vision and where does it come from? What are the secrets of talent? And why do great creators seem to have so many oppositions in their personalities?
In this mind-expanding investigation of creativity, John Briggs reveals that there is no special trait of genius. Geniuses are not necessarily smarter or more talented than other people, but they give their attention to subtle nuances, contradictory feelings, and perceptions that others experience and ignore. By focussing on sensory nuances, geniuses create themselves.
Fire in the Crucible offers a compelling exploration of the roots of creativity and genius. Drawing on the lives and work of extaordinary scientists, artists, writers, composers, and inventors, Briggs shows how creative individuals exploit doubt and uncertainty, and the mental strategies and tactics they employ when they work.
This book draws the reader into an eye-opening journey through the inner workings of some of the greatest creative minds of all time - and allows us to more deeply understand the nature of the creativity in our lives and work.
