The Hidden Habits of Genius
Craig Wright · 2020
🎙 Narrated by Fred Sanders
78/100
👍 Worth It
Wright brings two decades of Yale research to this, and using well-known figures like Curie and da Vinci to unpack traits like curiosity and 'creative maladjustment' makes abstract ideas land in a concrete way. Publishers Weekly liked it too, though it flagged a lack of cultural and geographic diversity among the geniuses profiled. Fred Sanders' narration is measured and lecture-appropriate, and overall this one's worth your time.
