Beyond Talent, IQ, and Grit--Unlocking the Secrets of Greatness
Author Series Soirée (3/3)
Monday, November 15th at 5pm Eastern Time
Craig Wright's most recent book, The Hidden Habits of Genius, came out in October 2020 and was a Wall Street Journal Book Club Pick of the Month as well as an Amazon Book of the Year for 2020 in the Nonfiction class. The work stems from his popular Yale University course, "Exploring the Nature of Genius." It represents a multi-decade study of geniuses throughout history (Einstein, Curie, Mozart, Bezos, Jobs, Picasso, Ben Franklin, and Lady Gaga among them) as well as personal observations gleaned from watching geniuses in action, at Harvard, Yale, and elsewhere. In this C&S "tour", Craig identifies one or more enablers of genius and concludes with suggestions as to how such agents can be incorporated into everyday life.
Craig Wright is a graduate of the Eastman School of Music, holds an M.A. and Ph.D from Harvard, and taught at Yale for forty-four years where, as the Moses Professor of Music Emeritus, he continues to teach "the genius course" online each summer. Wright has been the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship, an honorary doctorate of humane letters of the University of Chicago, and in 2011 was elected a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters.
