JOSHUA WOLF SHENK / THE POWERS OF TWO 9/07/16 ConsciousSHIFT with Julie Ann Turner

Finding the Essence of Innovation in Creative Pairs

When is the work of two people together greater
than what either could do on their own?

As long as we’ve been interested in creativity,
we’ve been preoccupied by
the myth of the lone genius.

Julie Ann's ConsciousSHIFT Guest Joshua Wolf Shenk -
author of THE POWERS OF TWO - busts this fantasy apart,
and draws on new scientific research to show how
the pair is the embodiment of ingenuity.

On the show, we'll explore the magic of John Lennon
and Paul McCartney, the power of "hidden partners"
(even Einstein had one), and the genius of scores
of others in the fields of writing, music, dance,
science, technology, social activism, and business.

When it comes to creative success, we'll discover why
Josh persuasively argues that two is the magic number –
and why this changes everything we thought we knew
about creativity.

Join Julie Ann and Josh to discover the “secrets”
of creative pairs!
