Download or read book Things That Make Us Smart written by Don Norman and published by Diversion Books. This book was released on 2014-12-02 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the author of THE DESIGN OF EVERYDAY THINGS. Insightful and whimsical, profoundly intelligent and easily accessible, Don Norman has been exploring the design of our world for decades, exploring this complex relationship between humans and machines. In this seminal work, fully revised and updated, Norman gives us the first steps towards demanding a person-centered redesign of the machines we use every day. Humans have always worked with objects to extend our cognitive powers, from counting on our fingers to designing massive supercomputers. But advanced technology does more than merely assist with memory—the machines we create begin to shape how we think and, at times, even what we value. In THINGS THAT MAKE US SMART, Donald Norman explores the complex interaction between human thought and the technology it creates, arguing for the development of machines that fit our minds, rather than minds that must conform to the machine.

Download or read book Smarter written by Dan Hurley and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2014-12-30 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A riveting look at the birth of a new science.” —Daniel H. Pink, author of Drive When he was eight years old, Dan Hurley was labeled a “slow learner” because he still couldn’t read. Three years later, he had become a straight A student. Until the publication of a major study in 2008, psychologists believed that intelligence is fixed at birth, that IQ is like a number tattooed on the soul. The new study showed that people can increase their “fluid” intelligence through training. Hurley, who grew up to become an award-winning science journalist, first explored the topic in The New York Times Magazine. In Smarter, he digs deeper by meeting with the field’s leading researchers—and becoming a human guinea pig. After just three months of playing computer brain-training games, joining a boot-camp exercise program, learning to play the Renaissance lute, practicing mindfulness meditation and and even getting his brain zapped in the name of science, Hurley improved his fluid intelligence by sixteen percent. With humor and heart, Smarter chronicles the roiling field of intelligence research and delivers practical findings to sharpen the minds of children, young adults, seniors, and those with cognitive challenges.

Download or read book Aging Well written by Rodney A. Rhoades and published by First Edition Design Pub.. This book was released on 2018-01-03 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Think exercise and diet are the secrets to aging well and having a meaningful life that thrives? Think again. The new science of aging is upending many of the negative stereotypes and dogmatic beliefs about aging. New research is showing that we are not doomed by our genes, and they don't control our biology or determine the person we can be. On the contrary, recent studies reveal that individual lifestyle, environment, attitude, and the friends we interact with play a far greater role than genetics in determining how well we age and who thrives in later life. This new research also confirms the power behind the mind-body-spirit connection and how a balance between the three draws on our deep, inner healing power and optimizes our well-being. Aging Well will help you understand the science behind these new ideas from an emotional, mental, and spiritual perspective. You can also explore how to increase the odds of having a happier, healthier, and more fulfilling life in your later years. It's never too late to change. Whether you've hit the "Big Five-O," 60, 70, 80, or beyond, you can make a U-turn in the way you see yourself and change your attitude and approach to aging well. In Aging Well, you will find these key points: • Importance of a positive attitude in redefining and changing your narrative about aging • Effects of an unhealthy lifestyle • Importance of friendship and social interaction • Significance of play and laughter • Value of cultivating meaning and purpose in your life • Significance of caring for your mind • Benefits of creative activity and lifelong learning • Power of belief • Importance of a spiritual connection and aging= Keywords: Aging Well, Rodney A.

Download or read book Positive Aging A SMART Living 365 Guide To Thriving and Wellbeing At Any Age written by Kathy Gottberg and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-09-04 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you have a positive view of getting older? It matters. Like many baby boomers her age, Kathy Gottberg started wondering if it was all down hill after turning 60. Instead, she gladly discovered that how each of us views the aging process strongly influences our health and happiness in the years to come. Now rather than seeing her advancing years from the perspective of decline and disease, Kathy is happy to share in the pages of this book how the vast majority of people can and do remain reasonably healthy, active and thriving for the remainder of their lives.How did we get it wrong? Until recently, most studies of people as they aged came from insurance companies, drug companies or doctors who specialized in geriatric care. Like the psychology field, research in the past often focused on pathologies, what didn't work, or what went wrong. Fortunately, that is changing. Now many groups, organizations, and scientists are looking into what makes for a long and healthy future no matter what the age. Instead of only seeking ways to make our final years merely comfortable, the attention is now being put on what helps us to continue to grow and thrive. When we choose to see aging from this new positive perspective, each of us is granted the opportunity to celebrate the many benefits of what is now being called "the third age" of life. Who will benefit from reading this book? Certainly, those at age 50 and beyond will find inspiration. But those just hitting midlife should also find encouragement. After all, the more we tell those younger than us that aging can be wonderful, fulfilling, and liberating, the better. Then instead of worrying about what is coming as we age, holding a positive perspective is sure to keep our minds and options open to the possible. And as the saying goes, like fine wine, we will just get better with age. Positive Aging-A SMART Living Guide 365 to Thriving & Wellbeing At Any Age is a collection of blog posts written by Kathy Gottberg on her blog SMART Living 365.com during the last five years. These articles address some of her best ideas about the topic and tie into how each of us can fearlessly embrace our age and look forward to the days to come.
