Powers of Two: How Relationships Drive Creativity"This is a book about magic, about the Beatles, about the chemistry between people, about neuroscience, and about the buddy system; it examines love and hate, harmony and dissonance, and everything in between. The result is wise, funny, surprising, and completely engrossing." Susan Orlean Lennon and McCartney, Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, Pierre and Marie Curie. Throughout history, partners have buoyed each other to better work though often one

"This is a book about magic, about the Beatles, about the chemistry between people, about neuroscience, and about the buddy system; it examines love and hate, harmony and dissonance, and everything in between. The result is wise, funny, surprising, and completely engrossing." -- Susan Orlean

Lennon and McCartney, Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, Pierre and Marie Curie. Throughout history, partners have buoyed each other to better work -- though often one member is little known to the general public. (See Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger, or Vincent and Theo van Gogh.) In Powers of Two, Joshua Wolf Shenk draws on neuroscience, social psychology, and cultural history to present the social foundations of creativity, with the pair as its primary embodiment. Revealing the six essential stages through which creative intimacy unfolds, Shenk shows how pairs begin to talk, think, and even look like each other; how the most successful ones thrive on conflict; and why some cease to work together while others carry on. At once intuitive and deeply surprising, Powers of Two will reshape the way you view individuals, relationships, and society itself.

"Sterling . . . a rare glimpse into the private realms of duos . . . Shenk is a natural storyteller." -- Sarah Lewis, New York Times

"In this surprising, compelling, deeply felt book, Joshua Wolf Shenk banishes the idea of solitary genius by demonstrating that our richest art and science come from collaboration: we need one another not only for love, but also for thinking and imagining and growing and being." -- Andrew Solomon

5/5 Stars
Color: 01-black, Size: Large, Color: 01-black, Size: Large
I absolutely love this black cowboy shirt! The first time I put it on, I could feel the quality. The material is comfortable but sturdy, and the embroidery on the front and sleeves is just beautiful. It gives that true Western vibe while still looking classy and modern. What I really like most is the fit — it’s sharp and clean but still gives me room to move and stay comfortable. I paired it with my boots and belt, and the whole outfit came together perfectly. I’ve gotten so many compliments wearing this shirt, and it definitely makes me feel confident and put together. Whether I’m dressing up for an event or just want to rock a casual cowboy look, this shirt never misses. It’s definitely one of my favorite pieces in my closet now!

Too loose
Color: Black (Retro Rose), Size: Small
I really like this shirt, but unfortunately it is way too loose for a size S. It looks like a XL. A shirt like that should be tight.

Slick White Shirt
The shirt is actually pretty nice. The material is a bit thicker without being heavy so it isn't see through. The material is also soft and silky on the skin. I ordered a large as I am somewhat between a medium and a large depending on the clothing. The large was a bit big on me. It didn't really have any shape to it. I am 5'10" about 170 and the shirt was too big. If you normally wear a large I would say stick with the large but if you are between sizes size down. I did wash and dry it to try to get some of the wrinkles out and drying it got a decent amount of the wrinkles out. The problem is, and why I took off 1 star is that I assume drying it caused the material to kind of bunch a little around the buttons. The shirt just isn't smooth/flat anymore around the buttons. Otherwise it's a nice shirt I'd recommend for things like resort wear or a summer business casual party.
