On the show today, we hear from bestselling author, essayist and curator, Joshua Wolf Shenk.

His latest book – Powers of Two – dissolves the popular myth of the lone genius, and instead reveals the fascinating hidden truth of a co-dependent pair behind every piece of brilliant creative work.

We delve into the following topics:

– What is chemistry? What makes an exchange between two people electric vs strained and forced?
– Developing genuine relationships and the highs and lows of doing so.
– The myth of the lone genius – why Josh believes it’s a falecy and what that means for us as creative people
– Are we spending enough time with each other?
– Why we need to be comfortable alone in order to to be in partnership with another.
– The courage to be bad. Why we need it to be creative and reach meaningful connection with people.
