Twitter @ArmandDAngour What we can learn about fostering innovation and creative thinking from some of the most inventive people of all times-the ancient Greeks When it comes to innovation and creative thinking, we are still catching up with the ancient Greeks. Between 800 and 300 BCE, they changed the world with astonishing inventions-democracy, the alphabet, philosophy, logic, rhetoric, mathematical proof, rational medicine, coins, architectural canons, drama, lifelike sculpture, and competitive athletics. None of this happened by accident. Recognizing the power of the new and trying to understand and promote the conditions that make it possible, the Greeks were the first to write about innovation and even the first to record a word for forging something new. In short, the Greeks "invented" innovation itself-and they still have a great deal to teach us about it. How to Innovate is an engaging and entertaining introduction to key ideas about-and examples of-innovation and creative thinking from ancient Greece. Armand D'Angour provides lively new translations of selections from Aristotle, Diodorus, and Athenaeus, with the original Greek text on facing pages. These writings illuminate and illustrate timeless principles of creating something new-borrowing or adapting existing ideas or things, cross-fertilizing disparate elements, or criticizing and disrupting current conditions. From the true story of Archimedes's famous "Eureka!" moment, to Aristotle's thoughts on physical change and political innovation, to accounts of how disruption and competition drove invention in Greek warfare and the visual arts, How to Innovate is filled with valuable insights about how change happens-and how to bring it about. " If you want to be more innovative, you should live and work close to innovative people. D'Angour shows us we've known the benefits for a very long time. We shouldn't be surprised to find insights so modern in texts so ancient. . . .We can, however, be grateful to D'Angour for the refreshing reminder."---Joel J. Miller, Circe Institute "There is an unfathomable mystery at the heart of innovation. But the ancient Greeks knew how to analyze it better than anyone, and this book explains its principles with novel and unprecedented clarity. Anyone interested in innovating should read it."-Satoshi Nakamoto, cryptocurrency innovator "Drawing on Aristotle and other Greek writers, Armand D'Angour reveals the keys to curiosity, creativity, and discovery. How to Innovate is filled with insights that will inspire visionaries and creators of all kinds."-Adrienne Mayor, author of Gods and Robots: Myths, Machines, and Ancient Dreams of Technology [url] => https://www.hoopladigital.com/title/15910269 [pa] => [series] => Ancient Wisdom for Modern Readers [subtitle] => An Ancient Guide to Creative Thinking [publisher] => Princeton University Press [purchaseModel] => INSTANT )
