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.
Author, science communicator and great sport Jonah Lehrer (author of How We Decide and Proust was a Neuroscientist) visits the University of Illinois and helps Joanne discuss the continuum of levels of science communication/expertise/interest using her (rapidly growing) collection of stylish Barbie dolls.
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.

„ALLEIN GEGEN DIE ZEIT Als die Nachsitzer Ben (13), Jonas (14), Leo (14), Sophie (11) und Özzi (13) einen Knall in ihrer Schule hören, denken sie zuerst an nichts Schlimmes. Außer ihnen ist nur noch der Astronomie-Kurs im Gebäude, und der ist für schlechte Scherze bekannt.

Nur wenn sie zusammenhalten und zu einem echten Team werden, haben sie eine Chance, die Klasse und sogar die ganze Welt zu retten. Die fünf Teenager lernen, dass Teamgeist, Toleranz, Humor und Fantasie mächtiger sind als Machtstreben, Gier und Zynismus ...
