Scatterbrain : how the mind's mistakes make humans creative, innovative, and successful / Henning Beck ; translated by Becky L. Crook. by Beck, Henning, 1983- Greystone Books, 2019. Call #: 153.4 B393s Subjects Errors -- Psychological aspects.   Fallibility.   Neurosciences. ISBN:  9781771644013 (hc.) Description:  328 p. ; 24 cm. Notes:  "Originally published in Germany as: Irren ist nutzlich: Warum die Schwachen des Gehirns unsere Starken sind in 2017. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references (pages 312-328). Summary:  "In this mind-bending book, an esteemed neuroscientist explains why perfectionism is pointless - and argues that mistakes, missteps, and flaws are the keys to success. Remember that time you screwed up simple math or forgot the name of your favorite song? What if someone told you that such embarrassing "brain farts" are actually secret weapons, proof of your superiority to computers and AI? In Scatterbrain, we learn that boredom awakens the muse, distractions spark creativity, and misjudging time creates valuable memories, among other benefits of our faulty minds. Throughout, award-winning neuroscientist Henning Beck's hilarious asides and brain-boosting advice make for delightful reading of the most cutting-edge neuroscience our brains will (maybe never) remember."--Publisher's website.
