Book - The Organized Mind: Thinking Straight in the Age of Information Overload

By Daniel J. Levitin, a NY Times bestseller. Paperback, 500 pages, published 2014. This copy is in excellent used condition. Very minor cosmetic wear on the cover, otherwise like new. No writing, no highlighting, no ripped or missing pages. "The information age is drowning us with an unprecedented deluge of data. At the same time, we’re expected to make more—and faster—decisions about our lives than ever before. No wonder, then, that the average American reports feeling worn out by the effort required just to keep up. But somehow some people become quite accomplished at managing information flow. Levitin uses the latest brain science to demonstrate how those people excel—and how readers can use their methods to regain a sense of mastery over the way they organize their homes, workplaces, and time. With lively, entertaining chapters on everything from the kitchen junk drawer to health care to executive office workflow, Levitin reveals how new research into the cognitive neuroscience of attention and memory can be applied to the challenges of our daily lives. The Organized Mind shows how to navigate the churning flood of information in the twenty-first century through the perspective of neuroscience."
