The Creating Brain: The Neuroscience of Genius por Nancy C. Andreasen
Couldn't finish. Too many allusions to 'what we're beginning to figure out' and it's a decade old, so we've probably got a lot more evidence towards proving or disproving some of her ideas by now. And the chapter at the end, the advice on how to encourage your kids' creativity, belabors the obvious. Any suggestions for something newer?
This book is on the neuroscience of creativity. The author is researching creativity, what makes people creative, how to recognize it, and how to enhance it.
There wasn't enough information for this book. Although interesting, the author spends a lot of time talking about people in the past who are considered creative.

This was a rather shallow overview of neuroscience with more time spent on examining the characteristics of people who were known to be exceptionally creative. I actually found the brief biographical sketches of these people to be the most enjoyable.
