Living a More Considered Life
Taking a fresh look at the concept of happiness, Hollis uses a warm,
accessible tone to encourage readers to learn to tolerate ambiguity,
embrace growth rather than security, respect the power of Eros,
engage spiritual crises, and acknowledge the shadow of mortality,
guiding readers in uncovering the heart of the matter, discovering what it means to truly live life to its fullest, most meaningful
state—as fully engaged citizens of the world.

The Natural history of Innovation
In his infectious, culturally omnivorous style, using his fluency in
fields from neurobiology to popular culture, Johnson provides the
complete, exciting, and encouraging story of how we generate the
ideas that push our careers, our lives, our society, and our culture
forward. “Steven Johnson is the Darwin of technology. Through
fascinating observations and insights, he enlightens us about the
origin of ideas. How do you create environments and networks
that promote innovation? Johnson discovers patterns that help
clarify that critical question.”—Walter Isaacson, author of Einstein:
His Life and Universe.
