Description
Sherlock Holmes's extraordinary intellect has long fascinated readers. But can we learn to cultivate such abilities ourselves? Psychologist and journalist Maria Konnikova argues that we can, and in Mastermind, she shows us how. By exploring the mental strategies that lead to clearer thinking and deeper insights, Konnikova reveals the unique methods employed by Holmes - including mindfulness, astute observation, and logical deduction. Drawing on twenty-first-century neuroscience and psychology, Mastermind demonstrates how these same methods can be applied to sharpen our perceptions, solve difficult problems, and enhance our creative powers. For readers interested in upgrading their minds, this book offers a practical guide to improving cognitive abilities.
