Gregory Berns; Iconoclast: A neuroscientist reveals how to think differently

Speed RAP

What makes true innovators so creative, so successful – and so rare? What makes them tick? And how can we learn to be a little more like them? In Iconoclast, Berns answers these timeless questions with surprising insights into the human brain. He suggests three roadblocks prevent us from being true innovators: our perception, overcoming our fears and our social intelligence.
