Genius Explained by M. A. Dewolfe Howe
This evidence-driven book challenges the myth of innate genius, arguing that extraordinary achievement emerges from complex interactions of development, persistent practice, personality, and social context rather than from a fixed hereditary gift; using historical case studies and psychological research, it shows how early exposure, motivation, deliberate practice, supportive environments, and chance opportunities shape remarkable talents, critiques simplistic measures like IQ and romantic cultural narratives, and offers a developmental, demystifying account of creativity with practical implications for education and talent cultivation.
