Listen now to get the main key ideas from Annie Murphy Paul's The Extended Mind.

There is a common misconception that the brain is a closed-off control room where thinking takes place and that intelligence is something we are born with, not a skill we can improve. However, in The Extended Mind (2021), science writer Annie Murphy Paul uses research from psychologists, cognitive scientists, and neuroscientists to prove that intelligence, superior memory, and sharp attention stem from interactions between our brains, bodies, spaces, and relationships. Using Paul's practical methods, we can unlock our mind's full potential and think more effectively.
