Curious scientist and inquisitive researcher Eric Weiner embarks on a journey across countries and centuries to find out why creative genius flourished in certain places in different eras. Along the way, he learns how confusion and chaos favor genius, why we think well while walking, how oysters helped the Scottish Enlightenment, and why the Renaissance would not have begun without the plague. Weiner walks the same roads as the ancient Athenians, the contemporaries of the Song Dynasty and the inhabitants of today's Silicon Valley, asking himself what is in the air of these places and can we repeat it where we live?
