On this week’s podcast, we have Professor Craig Wright, author of The Hidden Habits of Genius. We talk to Craig about his research into the great geniuses throughout time and what we can learn from them. We also discuss how these geniuses seemed compelled to do what they accomplished and how we can take steps in our own lives to bring elements of genius to our journey.

Craig Wright is the Henry L. and Lucy G. Moses Professor Emeritus of Music at Yale University, where he teaches the popular undergraduate course, “Exploring the Nature of Genius.” A Guggenheim Fellow, Wright has received an honorary Doctorate of Human Letters from the University of Chicago, is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and was awarded the Sewall Prize for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching at Yale (2016) as well as the DeVane Medal for Excellence in Teaching and Scholarship (2018).
