Alan Alda and Edward O Wilson: The Humanities, Sciences, and the Origins of Creativity

For more than a decade, actor and author Alan Alda hosted PBS's Scientific American Frontiers, interviewing scientists from physicists to neuroscientists. In this rare public conversation, Alda engages Edward O. Wilson, one of the most celebrated biologists of our time, whose The Origins of Creativity offers a sweeping examination of the relationship between the humanities and the sciences and how both are rooted in human creativity-the defining trait of our species. Join a master communicator and the senior statesman of science for an eloquent exploration of creativity and its manifestations throughout human history.

Anyone have a list of novels "full of rich emotions" recommended by Alda at 19:00?

The more tired I get, the less energy I have for empathy. I’m more self -centered when I’m tired
