How the principles of biological innovation can help us overcome creative challenges in art, business, and science
In Life Finds a Way, biologist Andreas Wagner reveals the deep symmetry between innovation in biological evolution and human cultural creativity. Rarely is either a linear climb to perfection--instead, "progress" is typically marked by a sequence of peaks, plateaus, and pitfalls. For instance, in Picasso's forty-some iterations of Guernica, we see the same combination of small steps, incessant reshuffling, and large, almost reckless, leaps that characterize the way evolution transformed a dinosaur's grasping claw into a condor's soaring wing. By understanding these principles, we can also better realize our own creative potential to find new solutions to adversity.
Ultimately, Life Finds a Way offers a new framework for the nature of creativity, enabling us to better adapt, grow, and change in art, business, or science--that is, in life.

| Descriere RO | Cum principiile inovatiei biologice ne pot ajuta sa depasim provocarile creative din arta, afaceri si stiinta In viata gaseste o cale, biologul Andreas Wagner dezvaluie simetria profunda dintre inovatia in evolutia biologica si creativitatea culturala umana. Rareori este fie o urcare liniara pana la perfectiune - in schimb, „progresul” este de obicei marcat de o succesiune de varfuri, platouri si capcane. |
