We understand more about the brain than ever before and we also have more tools than ever before to help us think. Through interesting case studies and research examples, John Paul Minda shows how the brain is involved in mental activity, how memory works, how language affects thought, how good (and bad) decisions are made, and why we make predictable errors in our thinking. With practical applications for everyday life, this book explains how to become better thinkers, learners, and problem-solvers. In the current era of big data, algorithms and AI, Minda argues that knowing about how humans think is more important than ever before.
