Ask HN: Interesting (Non software) books?
His other book, Creativity, is far more relevant to HN. It is a set of interviews with creative people, exploring how their creative capacities developed.http://www.amazon.com/Creativity-Flow-Psychology-Discovery-I...
His book Creativity is also excellent, particularly for entrepreneurs. http://www.amazon.com/Creativity-Flow-Psychology-Discovery-I...

Age and the Entrepreneur
That's great! Everyone loves this comment since so many of us are banking on it (or have lived it). It just brought to mind my reading of some interviews in "Creativty" (http://www.amazon.com/Creativity-Flow-Psychology-Discovery-I...). There was more than one great mind who attributed his success to having a wonderfully supportive/responsible wife. He apologized for his sexist remark, but admitted that he would never have had his successes if it weren't for his wonderful companion who freed him from so much responsibility. (Sorry for fabricating some of this from the top of my head; I can't locate the interview right now.)
