From the best-selling author of Subliminal and The Drunkard's Walk, a groundbreaking new go through the neuroscience of change - and exactly how elastic thinking can help us thrive in a global changing faster than previously. With rapid technological innovation leading the fee, the modern world is changing itself at a fantastic and unprecedented pace. As jobs become more multifaceted, as information streams multiply, as myriad devices place increasing requirements on our attention, we could confronted every day with various new challenges. Fortunately, as Leonard Mlodinow shows, the mind is uniquely built to adapt. Sketching from cutting-edge research in neuroscience and mindset, Mlodinow calls for us on a fascinating and illuminating voyage through the technicians of our own minds as we navigate the rapidly shifting landscapes around us. Out of the exploratory intuition that allowed our ancestors to prosper hundreds of thousands of years back, humans developed a cognitive style that Mlodinow conditions elastic thinking, a collection of traits and capabilities which include neophilia (an affinity for novelty), schizotypy (a inclination toward unusual conception), creativity and idea era, pattern acknowledgement, mental fluency, divergent thinking, and integrative thinking. These are the attributes that allowed innovators from Mary Shelley to Kilometers Davis, from the inventor of jumbo-size popcorn to the creator of the present day grocery store, and from Nike to Pokémon Go to results paradigm shifts in our culture and world. And they are the attributes that will enable each folks to succeed, in my opinion and appropriately, in the radically changing environments of today. With his enthusiastic acumen and rapid-fire wit, Mlodinow offers us the essential tools to harness the energy of elastic thinking in an endlessly dynamic world.
