In this show you'll hear the first episode of a documentary series I made for Himalaya, an audio service devoted to inspirational and educational content that asked me if I had any ideas for a book that I had yet to pursue, and sure enough, I did. The series is all about the difficulty of defining the word "genius," and out of that launching point it goes deep into the science of human potential and the history of the both the word and all the ideas we have attempted to understand and express when using it.

For most of us, golden opportunities are seen as an unexpected reward. Luck is important, of course, but what is luck? As they say, serendipity pays visits to open and prepared minds. Defeats and successes are not so different. What is important is how we cope with the situation to turn it to our advantage. At The New School of Creativity, we are curious about human beings: How they learn? How do they think? How they create? What makes them happier? We're looking for 'out of the box' thinkers and doers who can inspire our strategies to get things done more creatively and efficiently.
