Readers will discover that everyone can enhance their cognitive abilities by consciously addressing these constraints.
This book uniquely integrates neuroscience, cognitive psychology, and hands-on techniques to foster mental flexibility. It delves into the neural mechanisms underlying creative thought while also providing actionable strategies. For example, it explains how biases influence our perceptions and how mindfulness can help us overcome them.
