When Joshua Wolf Shenk’s book Powers Of Two: Finding The Essence Of Innovation In Creative Pairs was published in 2014, Michael Gerber, Devin McKinney and I each wrote a post about it. Since Shenk’s book has come up in recent comments, I thought I’d bring those posts back to the forefront.

Thanks for these links. I love this book and ordered a copy off Amazon (it was actually a library copy, originally). For those that never read it but are curious, there are a series of excerpts on Slate called “Inside the Lennon/McCartney Connection”. Shenk also wrote a long article for The Atlantic for further reading.
