Beschreibung

Intelligence is the capacity to reason, plan and act purposefully; to solve problems, think abstractly, learn from experience and adapt to the environment. it is fundamental to our ability to get on in the world: achievement in education and workplace are both related to intelligence, as are emotional maturity and moral sensibility. Consequently, the question of whether we are able to increase intelligence is of fundamental importance. Get Smart! is a distillation of the latest research into intelligence, and a guide to the tools, strategies and lifestyle most likely to maximise intelligence. Part self-help book, part psychology primer, it features 100 pieces of advice on what will and will not help you to reach your full intellectual potential. The information the book presents is scientifically rigorous, often startling, but never preachy. Informative, factual, accessible, and scientifically rigorous, Get Smart! gives the best available advice across a range of situations and activities that are relevant to our intelligence. This book might not make you the next Einstein, but it will certainly allow you to make the best of the ability that nature has endowed you with. (Source: Google Boooks API)
