Description
In today's fast-paced world, our analytical minds can sometimes feel like a hindrance. Research in cognitive science is challenging this notion, suggesting that patience and confusion are essential precursors to wisdom. Guy Claxton argues that the mind works best when we trust our unconscious, or "undermind", rather than relying on rigorous analysis. He encourages us to reevaluate society's obsession with results-oriented thinking and problem-solving under pressure. This thought-provoking book is packed with interesting anecdotes, puzzles to test your reasoning, and the latest related research. By embracing a more intuitive approach, we can cultivate a new kind of well-being and cognition. Hare Brain, Tortoise Mind offers an illuminating read that will stimulate your thinking and inspire you to think differently.
