What happens in that Aha! moment when an elusive answer suddenly pops into your head? Are these moments predictable? Can we train ourselves to have them?

Cities and corporations are both organizations of people. Yet, as cities get bigger, they become more likely to endure. Not so with corporations. In this Lavin interview, Jonah Lehrer, drawing on the work of theoretical physicist Geoffrey West, discusses the perils of corporate growth - what happens when a company, like Boeing, becomes a complex system too quickly. Lehrer is the author of the New York Times bestseller How We Decide and Imagine, an upcoming book on creativity.

Following Jonah Lehrer's popular event Matthew Taylor asks him about happiness and whether there is truth in the idea that our personality is much less fixed and dependent on context, but our satisfactions are much more fixed, with only a certain number of things really making you feel good.
Author Jonah Lehrer explores the power of outsider intelligence. At PopTech 2009, the best-selling author of How We Decide and Proust Was a Neuroscientist, notes that, paradoxically, lacking expertise on a subject can be an asset. Its what allows us to see the connections, to see the problems that no one else can see.

Außer ihnen ist nur noch der Astronomie-Kurs im Gebäude, und der ist für schlechte Scherze bekannt.
