The Extended Mind: The Power of Thinking Outside the Brain by Annie Murphy Paul

In The Extended Mind, Annie Murphy Paul explores the concept that our brains are not the sole center of intelligence. Instead, our bodies, social interactions, and environments play a crucial role in shaping our cognitive processes. By integrating insights from neuroscience, psychology, and philosophy, Paul explains how we can leverage our external resources to enhance our thinking. This book offers new ways to engage with learning, creativity, and problem-solving, emphasizing the power of collaboration, movement, and even the physical space around us in enhancing our minds and maximizing our intellectual potential.
