Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

A New York Times Editors' Choice A Washington Post Best Nonfiction Book of 2021 A New York Times Notable Book A bold new book reveals how we can tap the intelligence that exists beyond our brains--in our bodies, our surroundings, and our relationships Use your head.   That's what we tell ourselves when facing a tricky problem or a difficult project. But a growing body of research in cognitive science indicates that we've got it exactly backwards. What we need to do, says acclaimed science writer Annie Murphy Paul, is think outside the brain. A host of "extra-neural" resources--the feelings and movements of our bodies, the physical spaces in which we learn and work, and the minds of those around us-- can help us focus more intently, comprehend more deeply, and create more imaginatively.   The Extended Mind outlines the research behind this exciting new vision of human ability, exploring the findings of neuroscientists, cognitive scientists, and psychologists, and examining the practices of educators, managers, and leaders who are already reaping the benefits of thinking outside the brain. She excavates the untold history of how artists, scientists, and authors--from Jackson Pollock to Jonas Salk to Robert Caro--have used mental extensions to solve problems, make discoveries, and create new works. In the tradition of Howard Gardner's Frames of Mind or Daniel Goleman's Emotional Intelligence, The Extended Mind offers a dramatic new view of how our minds work, full of practical advice on how we can all think better. This paradigm-shifting guide to embodied cognition offers a dramatic new view of how our minds work, full of practical advice on how to think better: Mind-Body Connection: Learn how to think with the feelings and movements of your body to focus more intently, comprehend more deeply, and create more imaginatively. Thinking with Your Environment: Uncover how to use the physical spaces in which you learn and work, and even the natural world, to unlock new ways of solving problems. Social Cognition: Tap into the intelligence of those around you, from experts to peers, and discover the power of thinking with your relationships. Practical Self-Help Strategies: Go beyond theory with actionable techniques grounded in the findings of neuroscientists, cognitive scientists, and psychologists.
