Description
The Extended Mind: The Power of Thinking Outside the Brain A growing body of research suggests that we've been approaching problems and projects the wrong way. Instead of relying solely on our brains, we can tap into the intelligence that exists beyond our minds - in our bodies, surroundings, and relationships. Annie Murphy Paul explores this exciting new vision of human ability, examining the findings of neuroscientists, cognitive scientists, and psychologists, as well as the practices of educators, managers, and leaders who are already benefiting from this approach. By thinking outside the brain, we can focus more intently, comprehend more deeply, and create more imaginatively. Paul delves into the untold history of how artists, scientists, and authors have used mental extensions to solve problems, make discoveries, and create new works. With practical advice, she offers a dramatic new view of how our minds work, making it easier for us to think better.
