Douglas Eby does an extraordinary job of integrating complex characteristics into a complete overview of the multitalented personality.
Developing Multiple Talents is a comprehensive overview of many perspectives on creativity, from scientists to creatives themselves… Anyone who has spent much time researching creativity online has likely come across Eby’s writings. He’s the man behind a site filled with information and profiles of creatives, Talent Development Resources. There is plenty in his book that one could make use of in living a more creative life.

Part book about creativity, part compendium of useful tidbits, quotations and research, and part annotated bibliography, this is a wildly useful and highly entertaining resource.
