Do you consider yourself untalented when it comes to art or, for that matter, any creative activity? Were you told early on in your education that you lacked talent or ability, that your energies would be better re-directed into something more scientific or “academic”?

In her new book published by George Ronald, Margaret Appa sets out to challenge our conventional definitions and understanding of science and art, offering a fresh perspective - rooted in the Baha’i teachings - that could revolutionize how we view human potential. Every individual, she suggests, possesses the capacity for both - if we only would open up our definitions of both to embrace the myriad ways that humans design, create, and shape our world.

In this episode of Great Reads: The George Ronald Podcast, Margaret Appa argues that the domains of science and art are not separate or in opposition to each other, but deeply interconnected aspects of human knowledge and skill.
