Annie Murphy Paul visits Google to discuss her book "The Extended
Mind: The Power of Thinking Outside the Brain". The book discusses
how we can tap the intelligence that exists beyond our brains—in
our bodies, our surroundings, and our relationships.
“Use your head” - that’s what we tell ourselves when facing a
tricky problem or a difficult project. But a growing body of
research indicates that we’ve got it exactly backwards. What we
need to do, says Annie Murphy Paul, is think outside the brain. Her
book, “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
Extended Mind” offers a dramatic new view of how our minds work,
full of practical advice on how we can all think better.
