Think Like a Genius

Inspiring Tales of Mathematicians and Scientists

By David E. McAdams

What makes a person a genius? Is it being the smartest, or the most curious? Is it solving problems, or perhaps never giving up on them?

Think Like a Genius is a delightful collection of short, engaging biographies that brings to life the stories of mathematicians and scientists from across time and around the world. Specially written for tweens, this book highlights the real traits that make people brilliant: perseverance, creativity, kindness, courage, imagination, and a deep desire to understand the world.

Inside, you'll meet:

  • Tycho Brahe, who measured the stars with stunning precision-without a telescope
  • Sophie Germain, who secretly studied math when girls weren't allowed to
  • Paul ErdÅ's, who traveled the world with nothing but a suitcase full of ideas
  • Rachel Carson, who spoke up for the Earth with honesty and responsibility
  • Nikola Tesla, who imagined the impossible-and then made it real

...and many more remarkable minds whose lives still shine today.

Each story ends with thoughtful questions to spark family conversation or classroom discussion, helping children connect with these great thinkers and discover the genius within themselves.
