Abstract of the book. The Organized Mind: Thinking Straight in the Age of Information Overload

What’s in it for me? Learn to organize your life!

The way our brain manages information often seems mysterious. Daniel Levitin lifts the veil and reveals the systems that are at work every time we drive a car, learn something new, or try to remember where we put something.

With a greater understanding of these processes, you’ll be better equipped to take charge in organizing your life. You’ll also discover how to apply simple techniques, learn the best way to remain productive at work and even how to cope with situations that are out of your control.

In the following blinks, you’ll also learn:

how the brain of a taxi driver looks different to your brain;

how to be more effective by working less; and why Google confronts potential employees with an unsolvable question.
