It was Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences that first caused educators to broach the ideal of tailoring school to the minds of children and how they learn rather than trying to force the children to adapt to the school. In his text Extraordinary Minds (1997), Gardner expands on his ideas concerning intelligence by taking a biographical approach and closely examining the lives of four people who exhibited extraordinary mental development: Mozart, Freud, Virginia Woolf and Gandhi (Weiss 45).
