"A bold new book that proves our bodies and surroundings know more than our brains do"-- Provided by publisher.
Unearthing the untold history of how artists, scientists and authors have used mental extensions to solve, discover and create, an acclaimed science journalist presents a dramatic new view of how our minds work, offering practical advice on how we can all think better. -- Publisher description.
Facing a tricky problem or a difficult project, we're told to "use your head." Paul believes we need to think outside the brain: utilize the feelings and movements of our bodies, the physical spaces in which we learn and work, and the minds of those around us. She examines how artists, scientists, and authors have used mental extensions to solve problems, make discoveries, and create new works. Thinking outside the brain will help us focus more intently, comprehend more deeply, and create more imaginatively. -- adapted from jacket
