Amazon.com description: Product Description: From celebrated art historian, curator, and teacher Sarah Lewis comes âa rich trove of reflections not just on creativity but on the too-often ignored role that failure and surrender play in almost any ambitious undertakingâ (Lewis Hyde, author of The Gift).
It is one of the enduring enigmas of the human experience: many of our most iconic, creative endeavorsâfrom Nobel Prizeâwinning discoveries to entrepreneurial inventions and works in the artsâare not achievements, but rather, corrections after failed attempts.
The gift of failure is a riddle. Like the number zero, it will always be both the void and the start of infinite possibility. The Riseâpart investigation into a psychological mystery, part an argument about creativity and art, and part a soulful celebration of the determination and courage of the human spiritâmakes the case that many of our greatest achievements come from understanding the importance of this mystery.
This exquisite biography of an idea is about the improbable foundations of creative human endeavor. The Rise begins with narratives about figures past and present who range from writers to entrepreneurs; Frederick Douglass, Samuel F. B. Morse, Maya Lin, and J.K. Rowling, for example, featured alongside choreographer Paul Taylor, Nobel Prizeâwinning physicists Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov, Arctic explorer Ben Saunders, and psychology professor Angela Duckworth.
The audiobook explores the inestimable value of often-ignored ideasâthe power of surrender for fortitude, the criticality of play for innovation, and the propulsion of the near win on the road to mastery, the importance of grit and creative practice. While not a how-to book, it contains important lessons for pedagogy and parenting, innovation and discovery, and self-direction and creativity.
The Rise is an inspiring audiobook about what it means to be human as we struggle for mastery in our various spheres.
