Recommendation

The acclaimed author of The Extended Mind: The Power of Thinking Outside Your Brain, Annie Murphy Paul, wants you to harness the more profound potential of your mind – by getting out of your head. In an enlightening, hour-long Talk at Google about her book, Paul confirms that thinking happens best when you access the wisdom of your body, physical surroundings and social connections. She offers simple research-based exercises to awaken your deeper mind and access its knowledge.

Take-Aways

  • Involve your body, surroundings and other people to enhance your thinking.
  • Calm your mind and tune into your body’s cues to think more clearly.
  • Use objects as thinking aids – or look out the window – to extend thinking into your physical environment.
