Creative Collaboration

What is the true nature of thinking? Can it best be understood as a solitary activity of a lone individual? Or is thinking, contrary to our assumptions, a collaborative process? In this book, Vera John-Steiner, award-winning author of Notebooks of the Mind, suggests that our grasp of creativity is impoverished because we fail to recognise the vital roles that partnerships, collaborations, friendships, and communities play in our thinking, learning, and understanding.
