In these accelerated times, our decisive and businesslike ways of thinking are unprepared for ambiguity, paradox, and sleeping on it." We assume that the quick-thinking "hare brain" will beat out the slower Intuition of the "tortoise mind." However, now research in cognitive science is changing this understanding of the human mind. It suggests that patience and confusion--rather than rigor and certainty--are the essential precursors of wisdom. With a compelling argument that the mind works best when we trust our unconscious, or "undermind," psychologist Guy Claxton makes an appeal that we be less analytical and let our creativity have free rein. He also encourages reevaluation of society's obsession with results-oriented thinking and problem-solving under pressure. Packed with Interesting anecdotes, a dozen puzzles to test your reasoning, and the latest related research, Hare Brain, Tortoise Mind is an Illuminating, uplifting, stimulating read that focuses on a new kind of well-being and cognition.

In particular I love that he addresses the legacy educational systems and how standardizing human intelligence will never serve the greater good. Sir Ken Robinson has been stating this for years; the notion that ALL human beings learn at the same pace and level is like saying we're machines. Last time I checked I had a heart, a brain and think for myself. Thanks Guy for illuminating what the world can benefit by reading your words of wisdom which are SUPPORTED by studies as well. ( )
