A \"superb travel guide: funny, knowledgeable, and self-deprecating\" (The Washington Post), he explores the history of places like Vienna of 1900, Renaissance Florence, ancient Athens, Song Dynasty Hangzhou, and Silicon Valley to show how certain urban settings are conducive to ingenuity. With his trademark insightful humor, this \"big-hearted humanist\" (The Wall Street Journal) walks the same paths as the geniuses who flourished in these settings to see if the spirit of what inspired figures like Socrates, Michelangelo, and Leonardo remains. In these places, Weiner asks, \"What was in the air, and can we bottle it?\" \"Fun and thought provoking\" (Miami Herald), The Geography of Genius reevaluates the importance of culture in nurturing creativity and \"offers a practical map for how we can all become a bit more inventive\" (Adam Grant, author of Originals).\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Geography of Genius: Lessons from the World's Most Creative Places | Eric Weiner | Paperback | 9781451691672 | Used: Good | Sociology 1630655","offer_id":50701828325634,"sku":"1630655","price":21.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/71sb2EFW7GL.jpg?v=1791616193","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/geography-of-genius-lessons-from-the-worlds-most-creative-places","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
