"From the author of Subliminal and The Drunkard's Walk, a new look at the neuroscience of change and how elastic thinking can help us thrive in a world changing faster than ever before. With rapid technological innovation leading the charge, today's world is transforming itself at an extraordinary and unprecedented pace. As jobs become more multifaceted, as information streams multiply, and as myriad devices place increasing demands on our attention, we are confronted every day with a plethora of new challenges. Fortunately, the human brain is uniquely engineered to adapt. Drawing from research in neuroscience and psychology, Mlodinow takes us on a fascinating journey through the mechanics of our own minds as we navigate the rapidly shifting landscapes around us, giving us the essential tools to harness the power of elastic thinking in an endlessly dynamic world"--Provided by publisher.
