The power of the two, authored by Joshua Wolf Sink

Linen and Macartney, Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, Perry and Marie Curie. Throughout history, partners have revived each other to engage in better work, although only one of them — often — was known to the general public like Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger, or Vincent and Theo van Gogh. In "The Power of 2," Joshua Wolf Shenk relies on neuroscience, social psychology, and cultural history to reach the current social foundations of creativity, with dualities being its main embodiment. By highlighting the six basic stages through which creativity unfolds, Shenk shows how any duo begins to talk, think, and even look at each other, and how the most successful duos thrive through conflict, and why some stop working together while others continue. Combining simplicity with deep inspiration, this book reshapes the way you see individuals, relationships, and even communities.
