Geniuses are not like the rest of us.
Composer Igor Stravinsky was known to stand on his head for fifteen minutes every morning because he felt it would help to “clear his brain.”
Nikola Tesla, a famous inventor, liked to curl his toes one hundred times on each foot. Apparently, it was an effective way of stimulating his brain.
Einstein declined to wear socks.
Is it possible that geniuses are naturally a little more offbeat, or do these unusual practices inspire further genius?
Can we train our own brains to think differently… and create our own works of genius in the process?
Medium author Eric Spitznagel explores the idea, and you can read along, here.
