Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

"Sparkles with insight."--Daniel Pink A Behavioral Scientist Notable Book of 2023 A New Scientist Best Science Book    A Publishers Weekly Summer Read 2023 Recommendation One of Next Big Idea Club's "7 Books that Reveal the Wonders of Writing and Language" One of Inc.'s "13 Psychology Books to Understand Humans Way Better" This revolutionary book goes beyond any recent book on language to dissect how language operates in our minds and how to harness its virtually limitless power.

It alters what we remember, how we perceive ourselves and the world around us, how we feel, the insights we have, the decisions we make, and the actions we take. Language is an invaluable tool for organizing, processing, and structuring information, and thereby unleashing radical advancement.   Learning a new language has broad lifetime consequences, and Dr. Marian reviews research showing that it: ·        Enhances executive function--our ability to focus on the things that matter and ignore the things that don't. ·        Results in higher scores on creative-thinking tasks. ·        Develops critical reasoning skills. ·        Delays Alzheimer's and other types of dementia by four to six years. ·        Improves decisions made under emotional duress. ·        Changes what we see, pay attention to, and recall.…
