Readable , Informative, and Entertaining
Professor Wright has written an entertaining, informative and thought provoking summary on the topic of "genius" and the habits/personalities of these high achievers. I highly recommend it! This book is very readable, providing just enough information about each example of genius, while leaving it to the reader to decide if they wish to do further reading about specific people. Sure, your list of geniuses might be different than his (or even what constitutes a genius), but that is not the point--his insights into how these extraordinary individuals got to where they did was enough to make this a fascinating read for me. When he wandered into space about which I have some background (as a physician), he was quite accurate, making me think his knowledge of other disciplines is similarly well researched. And Chapter 2 (Genius and Gender) is a must-read. I won't say more. Thanks, Professor Wright.

Piacevole e interessante
Un libro piacevole e interessante, scritto in modo fresco e mai noioso, grazie anche ai numerosi aneddoti. Si potrebbe discutere molto più a lungo sulla natura e le caratteristiche del genio e non sono del tutto convinto di alcune conclusioni, ma sicuramente sono tutti spunti per preziose riflessioni.

Genial-normal
Der Autor ist offenbar ein Vertreter des Drittmittel- und Stiftungs-Lehrstuhl-Establishments. Er interpretiert Genie im Sinne des politisch-korrekten Bevormundungsmainstreams. Ausgangspunkt ist eine ungewöhnliche Definition von Genie, die breite Wirksamkeit in der Gesellschaft zur Bedingung von Genialität macht. Ein ausgesprochen listiger Zirkelschluss erlaubt es dann, bloss wirksame Leute zu Genies umzudeuten. So werden z.B. A. Merkel und E. Musk (ein Sponsor?) ratz fatz genial. Auch Theorien wie der Klimawandel werden aufgrund ihrer (induzierten) Breitenwirkungen ganz schnell zu genialen Leistungen, denen nur ganz Dumme widersprechen. Nix Falsifikation. Obwohl er es nicht zugibt, glaubt der Autor offenbar, dass mit den rechten Mitteln (Arbeitsethik, Unangepasstheit...), die man einüben kann, geniale Leistungen zu erreichen sind. Diese Mittel stellen sich aber wohl eher von selbst ein, wenn Einer genial ist. Insgesamt erklärt das Buch nicht viel, behauptet aber zu wissen: die Untat eines Besserwissers, der uns sagt, wie Genie zu sein hat.
