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?

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. Composer Anthony Brandt and neurologist David Eagleman seek to discover what lies at the heart of humanity's ability - and drive - to create.

Examining hundreds of examples of human creativity, Brandt and Eagleman draw out what creative acts have in common and view them through the lens of cutting-edge neuroscience, uncovering the essential elements of this critical human ability and encouraging a more creative future for all of us.

This book is astounding in its breadth and profundity of insights,
The data and stories alone provide a rich library of valuable research and event based dynamics
which propel a worthy investigation of the cosmology of innovation and experimental history.
Most of all though this book is another example fo Eagleman's unique style of bringing a synthesis of
brilliant and astoundingly practical stories. These are examples of how creativity and innovation makes it through the inception stage to the final integration in business commerce and invention

The comprehensive spectrum of examples from historical events and inventions , both successful and not successful provide a critical factual/historical foundation and not a mere digression into data.

this book is the work of true genius and is in itself a Renaissance of prodigious potentials.
Bravo!!

Elegantly simple thesis, deconstructing the human creative process into three discrete, interrelated processes. If you like Pinker, Gladwell, Dawkins, Harari, then Runaway Species is required reading.
