The Crazy GeniusMisunderstood genius has been a theme for generations and the works of the electrifying minds of the past centuries remain mysterious phenomena.“Anyone who is not shocked by quantum theory has not understood it,” said Niels Bohr, famous Danish physicist and self-described dilettante who developed the model of the atom.Ancient Greek philosophers would not be surprised, especially Democritus, who theorized that everything is composed of atoms that were physically, but not geometrically, indivisible. Perhaps even he would have been shocked to learn that the atom can be split and with such spectacular results.Genius is an almost mystical and mythical chimera that cannot be defined and the Classical Greeks did not even have a word for it. What might Aristotle think of the quest to understand genius?“It is the mark of an educated man to entertain a thought without accepting it,” Aristotle observed. Least anyone think Aristotle was too deep of a thinker for us to understand, he also discovered another truth, and said all paid jobs absorb and degrade the mind.It doesn't take a genius to figure that out.A preview of the book:Creativity And GeniusIntelligence and GeniusGenius In AntiquityBoth Creativity And Genius Are ImportantSome Are Less Intellectually FortunateTraining The Mind For CreativityProblem Solving And CreativityAre Introverts Or Extroverts Geniuses?Fallacies About GeniusNature Versus NurtureThe Gifted YoungElements Of Creative Genius
