The author describes genius to be a fun and relaxing thing to do. The author also says " Genius is not about scoring 1600 on the SATs, mastering fourteen languages at the age of seven, finishing Mensa exercises in record time, having an extraordinarily high I.Q., or even about being smart. " The authors perspective on genius compared to the actually definition are not even close because the author says you do not have to be smart to participate in genius. The shared strategies of a genius is, geniuses look at problems in many different ways, geniuses make their thoughts visible, geniuses produce, geniuses make novel combinations, geniuses force relationships, geniuses think in opposites, geniuses think metaphorically, and geniuses prepare themselves for a chance.
The first strategy, geniuses look at problems in many different ways encourages me the most because when I run into a problem that is the first thing that happens. Looking at a problems you are facing in many different ways is helpful because it lets you explore the problem more and you have a better chance of solving that problem.
