About This Item
London: Weidenfeld & Nicolson, 1997. 1st U.K. ed.. Hardback small, dustjacket, very good condition (in very good dustjacket), pages lightly toned, small bump top spine, minor edgewear. 178 pp. First edition. In this thought-provoking book, Howard Gardner shows how there can be "a science of the extraordinary", how psychology can inform our understanding of the achievements of extraordinary individuals, and how that understanding can contribute to knowledge of our own development and lives. Focussing on Gandhi, Freud, Virginia Woolf and Mozart, he examines what produces an extraordinary mind, categorising four types - the Master, the Maker, the Introspector and the Influencer.
