About the Book
The Extended Mind: The Power of Thinking Outside the Brain Paperback – May 10, 2022
A bold new book reveals how we can tap the intelligence that exists beyond our brains—in our bodies, our surroundings, and our relationships.
The idea of the Extended Mind is truly breakthrough work. Much of the neuroscience focus for the past 20-30 years has been on what our individual human brains are capable of. But more recently, cutting edge thinkers from many disciplines have been looking at the limitations of our thinking when we rely simply upon ourselves. What is possible when we “extend our minds” ?
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. The author 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, with practical advice on how we can all think better.
