Guy Claxton
Hare Brain Tortoise Mind: Why Intelligence
Increases When you Think Less
Fourth Estate, London 1996

A
book which gives a different perspective on thinking
skills and a very valuable one. Guy Claxton doesn’t
downplay the need to think but he suggests that
wisdom is more important than cleverness and it
is about thinking slow not fast! A good and essential
read for those interested in having their thinking
provoked! |
