How Human Creativity Remakes the World

The Runaway Species

Slowish on the progression, but the authors outline a well-formulated argument about how creativity works and why it propels society. The last third of the book is focused on how we can encourage it. I generally agreed with everything laid out in the book already, so it only really functions as a way to formalize my thoughts and give them a framework to operate in. It's easier to articulate having read this book, but I did not find it helping me question any of the things I already held to be true.

Yaratıcılık ile beyin arasındaki ilişkiler üzerine bir kitap. Ancak yüzeysel görüşler sunulmuş ktapta. Ayrıca bu tür konular çok hızlı eskiyor. Kitabı pek dolu bulmadım. Başlarda kitabın çektiği ilgi sonradan hızlıca azalıyor. Yaratıcılığı mevcut eğitim sisteminin öldürmesine izin vermemeliyiz. Bilim ve teknoloji konusundaki yaratıcılık okul zamanındaki sanat içerikli derslerle beslenmesi gerekir. Bükme, parçalama ve harmanlama yöntemleriyle beyin yaratıcılığını ortaya koyar. Beynimiz sürekli bir yenilik ve yaratıcılık peşindedir. Doğru şeyi değil bir sonraki şeyi, yeni şeyi yapmaktır. Günlük hayatta hata yapmak başarısızlıktır; yaratıcılkta ise gerekli bir şeydir. Geçmiş başarılarımızın üzerine yaslanıp kalmak, durmak, ilerlememek sonu getirir.

“The authors look at art and science together to examine how innovations—from Picasso’s initially offensive paintings to Steve Jobs’s startling iPhone—build on what already exists and rely on three brain operations: bending, breaking and blending. This manifesto . . . shows how both disciplines foster creativity.” —The Wall Street Journal The Runaway Species is a deep dive into the creative mind, a celebration of the human spirit, and a vision of how we can improve our future by understanding and embracing our ability to innovate. David Eagleman and Anthony Brandt seek to answer the question: what lies at the heart of humanity’s ability—and drive—to create? Our ability to remake our world is unique among all living things. But where does our creativity come from, how does it work, and how can we harness it to improve our lives, schools, businesses, and institutions? Eagleman and Brandt examine hundreds of examples of human creativity through dramatic storytelling and stunning images in this beautiful, full–color volume. By drawing out what creative acts have in common and viewing them through the lens of cutting–edge neuroscience, they uncover the essential elements of this critical human ability, and encourage a more creative future for all of us. “The Runaway Species approach[es] creativity scientifically but sensitively, feeling its roots without pulling them out.” —The Economist
