In a book perfect for readers of Charles Duhigg’s The Power of Habit, David Eagleman’s Incognito, and Leonard Mlodinow’s Subliminal, the cognitive neuroscientists who discovered how the brain has aha moments—sudden creative insights—explain how they happen, when we need them, and how we can have more of them to enrich our lives and empower personal and professional success. Eureka or aha moments are sudden realizations that expand our understanding of the world and ourselves, conferring both personal growth and practical advantage. Such creative insights, as psychological scientists call them, were what conveyed an important discovery in the science of genetics to Nobel laureate Barbara McClintock, the melody of a Beatles ballad to Paul McCartney, and an understanding of the cause of human suffering to the Buddha. But these moments of clarity are not given only to the famous. Anyone can have them. In The Eureka Factor, John Kounios and Mark Beeman explain how insights arise and what the scientific research says about stimulating more of them. They discuss how various conditions affect the likelihood of your having an insight, when insight is helpful and when deliberate methodical thought is better suited to a task, what the relationship is between insight and intuition, and how the brain’s right hemisphere contributes to creative thought. Written in a lively, engaging style, this book goes beyond scientific principles to offer productive techniques for realizing your creative potential—at home and at work. The authors provide compelling anecdotes to illustrate how eureka experiences can be a key factor in your life. Attend a dinner party with Christopher Columbus to learn why we need insights. Go to a baseball game with the director of a classic Disney Pixar movie to learn about one important type of aha moment. Observe the behind-the-scenes arrangements for an Elvis Presley concert to learn why the timing of insights is crucial. Accessible and compelling, The Eureka Factor is a fascinating look at the human brain and its seemingly infinite capacity to surprise us. Praise for The Eureka Factor “Delicious . . . In The Eureka Factor, neuroscientists John Kounios and Mark Beeman give many other examples of [a] kind of lightning bolt of insight, but back this up with the latest brain-imaging research.”—Newsweek “An incredible accomplishment . . . [The Eureka Factor] is not just a chronicle of the journey that numerous scientists (including the authors) have taken to examine insight but is also a fascinating guide to how advances in science are made in general. Messrs. Kounios and Beeman examine how a parade of clever experiments can be designed to answer specific questions and rule out alternative possibilities. . . . Wonderful ideas appear as if out of nowhere—and we are delighted.”—The Wall Street Journal “An excellent title for those interested in neuroscience or creativity . . . The writing is engaging and readable, mixing stories of famous perceptions with explanations of how such revelations happen.”—Library Journal (starred review) “A lively and accessible ‘brain’ book with wide appeal.”—Booklist “[An] ingenious, thoughtful update on how the mind works.”—Kirkus Reviews “The Eureka Factor presents a fascinating and illuminating account of the creative process and how to foster it.”—James J. Heckman, Nobel laureate in economics

More than three million women left the workforce during the COVID-19 pandemic, and even more are considering leaving or downshifting. Corporate women feel misled. Told they could “have it all,” women instead feel dissatisfied and exasperated. They have not lost ambition or dreams for their career, but they are reckoning with their corporate reality: environments that are designed for men, the burden of caretaking labor at home, and bias in hiring and promotions. These factors leave many women stuck—feeling unfulfilled but fearful about making the leap to reinvent their careers. ​If this describes you, then Leap will give you the guidance and confidence you need to pivot toward fulfillment and authenticity. Intrigued by other women who have made major career shifts, career strategist Jessica Galica embarked on a series of interviews and discovered that her story—building a career by doing everything “right” but waking up lost—is not unique. She wrote this book to help other women learn why, when, and how to reinvent their careers. Drawing from the stories of courageous women who took the leap, as well as her own career journey, she examines: • The feelings that lead women to want to pivot to something different • The ways women can embrace new possibilities (including their risks) • The fulfillment that can come from making the leap A compelling blend of narrative, research, and pep talk, this book will empower you to reclaim control of your career trajectory and define success on your own terms.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The ability to reframe problems is a key tool for increasing your imagination. It allows you to see the solution from many different points of view, which allows you to come up with more solutions. #2 The process of asking why questions is a useful tool for expanding the landscape of solutions for a problem. When you ask why questions, you are, essentially, changing your frame of reference by shifting your perspective to that of the other person. #3 Looking at problems from different perspectives is critical when dealing with any type of challenge. For example, before 1543, people believed that the sun and all the planets revolve around the earth. But in 1543, Copernicus changed all of that by proposing that the sun is actually at the center of the solar system. #4 We can shift our frames of reference every day. For example, turn a rock or piece of driftwood into art by placing it on display. Or, sit on the floor to see how a young child sees the world.
