The Power of the Mind - Inventing the world through the creative process

Anthony Brandt & David Eagleman

THE POWER OF THE MIND is a deep dive into the creative mind, the one that sets us apart from all other living beings. In a rapidly changing world, only one thing allows us to cope with these ever-accelerating changes. And that is cognitive flexibility. In this fascinating book, Anthony Brandt (composer) and David Eagleman (neuroscientist) explore the limits of human creativity. They are trying to answer a very important question. What is at the center of the human capacity - but also the will - to create? Exploring the inventions of human society, combined with the latest discoveries about how the brain works, will help us discover unknown aspects of such an integral part of ourselves. The book-based documentary The Creative Brain airs on Netflix.
