The Nature of Genius
May 29,2012
THE NATURE OF GENIUS
Craig Wright, Yale University
How do we account for genius of Jefferson, Einstein, Newton, Leonardo, Joyce, Picasso, Woolf, and others? What is genius? How do we define it? Can we all become geniuses if we just practice diligently for 10,000 hours over 10 year period, as some recent “self-help”books suggest? This never-before -offered class will will test our definition by evaluating luminaries past and present, including Charles Darwin, Michael Phelps, Michael Jackson, Merryl Streep, Lady Gaga, Adolf Hitler, Mark Zuckerberg, Warren Buffet, and even Secretariat!
