Jumia Books The Hidden Habits of Genius: Beyond Talent, IQ, and Grit Unlocking the Secrets of Greatness  by Craig Wright (Author)

"The Hidden Habits of Genius: Beyond Talent, IQ, and Grit—Unlocking the Secrets of Greatness" by Craig Wright explores the distinct characteristics and habits that set geniuses apart from the rest. Drawing on over two decades of research and the lives of transformative figures such as Beethoven, Picasso, Einstein, Steve Jobs, and others, Wright identifies fourteen key traits common to great minds in history. These traits include insatiable curiosity, childlike imagination, rebelliousness, concentration, obsession, and originality among others.

Wright argues that genius is far more complex than raw intellect or sheer hard work. He dispels the myth of the sudden "eureka" moment, showing instead that profound insights come from unique modes of thinking and long periods of gestation. Most importantly, the habits that lead to genius-level thinking can be cultivated by anyone willing to put in effort.

This book offers readers valuable strategies to enhance creativity, strategic thinking, and overall success by embracing these hidden habits. It challenges conventional views on intelligence and success, illustrating that many celebrated geniuses did not fit traditional academic molds but thrived by thinking differently and defying norms.
