Description
According to this myth, the revolutionary ideas, the most exquisite manifestations of art and the most important inventions that arose in different stages of humanity, have been achieved in contexts of divine revelation or thanks to an innate gift that distinguishes the geniuses from the ordinary individuals. Contrary to these ideas, the author claims that creative people spend most of their time working, overcoming their doubts and failings, ridicule and rejection, until their effort is rewarded with a useful idea or product and innovative. How to Fly a Horse brings together stories from different characters in science, history and philosophy, among other areas, who have stood out for their significant contributions. Despite coming from different contexts and times, when viewed together, these stories reveal a pattern about creativity processes that is both inspiring and challenging.
