Howard Gardner explores the creative genius of seven transformative figures—Freud, Einstein, Picasso, Stravinsky, Eliot, Graham, and Gandhi—to reveal the patterns, personalities, and circumstances that enable extraordinary innovation across different domains of human knowledge and art. By examining each creator's pivotal breakthrough moment, Gardner reveals that creativity is not a single talent but emerges from unique combinations of intelligence, personality, and support systems, while also uncovering the common thread that major creative breakthroughs typically require a decade of dedicated work. This groundbreaking study will fascinate anyone interested in understanding how the world's most influential minds actually work and what drives transformative change across science, art, music, politics, and psychology.
