082 - Thinking Beyond the Brain: Exploring the "Extended Mind" (Part 2)
Listen now
Description
This is the second episode of a two-part Coach Up where we're diving into the work of science writer Annie Murphy Paul and her book "The Extended Mind," which explores the ways in which our bodies and our environments impact our thinking. Last week, we explored how the movement of our bodies impacts our thinking. Today, we're talking about the ways we can use the physical spaces in which we live and work to enhance our thinking, productivity, and creativity. You'll learn how to use the everyday environment around you to replenish your attention, to make cognitively demanding tasks easier through "home court advantage," and to solve abstract problems through the use of physical objects.
