October 01, 2021 129: The Extended Mind by Annie Murphy Paul
Today’s author teaches us how to employ a host of “extra-neural” resources — the feelings and movements of our bodies, the physical spaces in which we learn and work, and the minds of those around us — to focus more intently, comprehend more deeply, and create more imaginatively. Join Joe & Mike as they attempt to extend their own minds and think outside their brains.
