June 21, 2017 Creating Innovators

Tony Wagner

"In this fascinating book, Tony Wagner addresses one of our most urgent questions: How do we create the next generation of innovators? By telling the stories of young creators, and by taking us inside cutting-edge programs, Wagner shows that the answer isn't to double-down on outmoded, formulaic solut ions—but to embrace the principles of play, passion, and purpose. Creating Innovators is important reading for anyone concerned about the future."—Daniel H. Pink, author of Drive and A Whole New Mind
