| Summary |
“Remember the time you messed up a simple maths equation or forgot the name of your favourite song? What is someone told you that brain freezes are actually secret weapons, proof of our superiority to computer and AI? Or that distraction sparks creativity and misjudging time creates valuable memories? Combing cutting-edge science with riveting real-life stories and brain-boosting advice, acclaimed neuroscientist Henning Beck reveals why the brain’s flaws give us the ultimate cognitive edge.”--Back cover |
