The Runaway Species: How Human Creativity Remakes the World by David Eagleman
3.0
Pat yourself on the back - way to go for being born human! We are so creative and innovative!
No, this is not a quote from the book, but it is my sarcastic quote after reading it.
It was a little too self-congratulatory for my taste (we love to talk about ourselves, don't we?), I wanted more than anecdotes on awesome and inspiring things. That being said, there were some good ones here, and some larger takeaways like:
- Science needs art.
- Be open to change.
- Think outside of the box and strive for a new understanding.
I did like the bend, break, and blend models of building creativity on what already exists. I also liked the design of the book itself: attractive font, page design, and images included.
