What an arrogant, lying scumbag. If you bought his book, Simon & Schuster would give you a refund if you have problem with it. "Mr. Lehrer, then a 31-year-old wunderkind of the journalism and publishing worlds, had fabricated quotes from Bob Dylan and recycled his own work from one publication ...
I just finished Gladwell's Outliers (and re-read Carr's "The Shallows"), so I was excited to start Lehrer's Imagine -- How Creativity Works. While the book gamely tries to define the creative impulse (how it works, where it occurs, how it can be fostered, etc), in the end, the subject proves a littl...

Jonah Lehrer made up quotes from Bob Dylan in his book, was found out, and then continued to lie about them until forced to admit that he had lied...
Publisher withdrew this book after it was proven that author made up quotes for his book. He was caught doing this. I do not feel that I can trust any facts in this book since who knows what else is made up.http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2012/aug/03/jonah-lehrer-imagine-withdrawn-sale?newsfeed=true...
