I've read other books by Eagleman (a neuroscientist) and found them very interesting. I bought this one after seeing Eagleman do a talk here in Melbourne earlier this year. There's actually not all that much neuroscience in this look at creativity that he's co-written with musician Brandt. It's a bit of a breezy overview with lots of examples of creativity in science, the arts and business. A few good ideas in the chapter on creative schools.

Good points, little repetitive

Not as good as his other book, but was an interesting read in regards to creativity and not being afraid of failure, that failure is a stepping stone for success.

Well written with engaging stories and ways of thinking and connecting. Some dated language but overall an enjoyable read!

Al principio me interesó bastante y según iba avanzando el libro me iba interesando menos... al final es dar vueltas a lo mismo desde el principio y, salvo algunas anécdotas curiosas, tampoco me ha aportado gran cosa. Está entretenido, pero nada del otro mundo. Me ha costado terminar.
