In Life Finds a Way, biologist Andreas Wagner reveals the deep symmetry between innovation in biological evolution and human cultural creativity. Rarely is either a linear climb to perfection - instead, "progress" is typically marked by a sequence of peaks, plateaus, and pitfalls.

Una vez más la psicología abisal ha reconocido un orden allí donde las otras sólo veían un caos, un movimiento agitado e incoherente: lo que a sus antecesores parecía un laberinto inextricable, sin principio ni final, para ella es la via regia, el amino real, que enlaza la vida inconsciente con la consciente. El sueño es el intermediario entre el mundo de nuestros sentimientos ocultos y el que está sometido al conocimiento.
