What do music visionary Brian Eno, kinetic sculptor Theo Jansen, science writer Mary Roach, neuroscientist Oliver Sacks, and computing icon Gordon Moore have in common? They are all game-changers: scientists, artists, entertainers, and activists who revolutionized their fields with bold new perspectives and approaches—and they all had transformative, course-setting experiences at the Exploratorium. Join them and 45 more brilliant thinkers and doers in a wonderfully playful, insightful, and sometimes incredibly moving journey to see how you, too, can harness your powers of observation, inquiry, and engagement to be the change you want to see in the world—regardless of who you are or what you do. Interviewees and Subjects Include: Dave Eggars on looking at the world differently Hollywood Sound Designer Walter Murch on observation Laurie Anderson on art as a way of knowing Memory Expert Elizabeth Loftus on how we learn Oliver Sacks on perception Mary Roach on how she learned to ask the right questions Physicist Phillip Morrison on how to approach a museum The Dalai Lama on how science and being intersect Mickey Hart on the art of playing to learn, and learning to play Community activist Randy Carter on finding joy in the worst of places . . . and dozens more interviews, insights, and activities suggested by artists, scientists, poets, and politicians, in a book that’s guaranteed to make you a more creative person. And maybe just change the world.
