New York Times bestselling author and
neuroscientist Daniel J. Levitin shifts his keen insights
from your brain on music to your brain in a sea of details. 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
frequently losing car keys or reading glasses, missing
appointments, and feeling worn out by the effort required
just to keep up. But somehow some people become quite accomplished at
managing information flow. In The Organized Mind,
Daniel J. Levitin, PhD, 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. This Is
Your Brain on Music showed how to better play and
appreciate music through an understanding of how the brain
works. The Organized Mind shows how to navigate the
churning flood of information in the twenty-first century
with the same neuroscientific perspective.
