[The Prometheus Shot – E005 :: Einstein the Icon: Relativity & Great Imagination ]
This post is part of the Prometheus Shot series.
So, what is so special about Einstein?
Did he have a different brain? A bigger brain?
Are there lessons we – as regular-brained humans – can learn from the Einstein story?
What did he think about work, science, habits, solving problems, education, childhood, and more?
This episode tries to think about Einstein’s great work, what explains his influence and acclaim, and his thoughts on work, science, education, and life…
As usual, we won’t do that from a science perspective, but from the perspective of creativity, management, and work.
