“Leonard Mlodinow will make you smarter.” —Seth MacFarlane “Ingenious . . . top-quality popular neuroscience.” —Kirkus Reviews“Incorporating the most recent developments in psychology and neuroscience, award-winning science writer Mlodinow. . . elucidates how the human mind evolved a cognitive style he names ‘elastic thinking.’ . . . Fantastically accessible science writing. . . . Of particular interest to those wishing to understand how to cope with the pace of change in the modern world.”—Library Journal (starred review) “Timely and engrossing. Elastic is a fascinating exploration of one of the most important topics: how the human mind deals with change. If you liked Subliminal, you’ll love Elastic.” —Charles Duhigg, author of the best sellers The Power of Habit and Smarter Faster Better “It’s easy to describe the dizzying changes in our midst—from the gushers of information that wash over us to a world grown ever more interconnected. Far harder is to offer guidance on how we should respond. In this wise and persuasive book, Leonard Mlodinow calls for a change in the very way we think. Using a deft mix of science and storytelling, he shows the limits of linear thinking and the promise of ‘bottom up’ thinking that embraces ambiguity, asks the shrewd questions, and pursues novel answers to complex problems. Elastic is a book that will help you survive the whirlwind.”—Daniel H. Pink, author of WHEN and A WHOLE NEW MIND"A fascinating, useful look into how the brain works. Perfect for neophiliacs and everyone else who's dealing with a changing world.” —Seth Godin, author of Footprints on the Moon“In a world in which advancing technologies, omnipresent social media, and fiery political landscapes can make us feel helpless and paralyzed, Mlodinow shows us how our most human traits, such as novelty seeking and free-range imagination, have uniquely prepared us to thrive in an increasingly complex and ever-changing world. Most important, in the groundbreaking book he shows us how to make the best use of our most basic human talents to find true happiness and success.” —Dr. Rudolph Tanzi, Joseph P. and Rose F. Kennedy Professor of Neurology, Harvard University, and author of the New York Times best seller Super Brain“A book of sparkling intelligence, written with humor and grace. If you read only one book of accessible science this year, let this be the one.” —Mark Williams, author of Mindfulness, Emeritus Professor of Clinical Psychology, University of Oxford LEONARD MLODINOW’s previous books include the best sellers Subliminal (winner of the PEN/E. O. Wilson Literary Science writing award), The Drunkard’s Walk (a New York Times Notable Book), War of the Worldviews (with Deepak Chopra), and The Grand Design (with Stephen Hawking), as well as The Upright Thinkers, Feynman’s Rainbow, and Euclid’s Window. He also wrote for the television series MacGyver and Star Trek: The Next Generation.leonardmlodinow.com

In this startling and provocative look at how the human mind deals with change, Leonard Mlodinow shows us to unleash the natural abilities we all possess so we can thrive in dynamic and troubled times. Truly original minds capitalize when everyone else struggles. And most of us assume that these abilities are innate, reserved for a select few. But Mlodinow reveals that we all possess them, that we all have encoded in our brains a skill he terms elastic thinking—and he guides us in how to harness it.
Drawing on groundbreaking research, Mlodinow outlines how we can learn to let go of comfortable ideas and become accustomed to ambiguity and contradiction; how we can rise above conventional mindsets and reframe the questions we ask; and how we can improve our ability to solve problems and generate new ideas—critical skills for achieving professional and personal success in our quickly morphing world.
The Value of Right-Brain Cognition Elastic makes a strong case for properly balancing analytical "left brain" cognition with more elastic "right brain" cognition. Too much of the former hampers our creative potential and ability to solve problems requiring outside-the-box solutions, while too much of the latter can render us dysfunctional in a world that often calls for simple, pragmatic solutions. I like how Leonard Mlodinow backs his theory up with scientific studies, without getting overly technical. I also was fascinated by the connection between altered states and flexible thinking, which helps explain why I sometimes am able to think more creatively after loosening up with a drink or two. And the brain-teasing puzzles he uses to illustrate how elastic thinking is required to get to the right answer underscore the importance of this free-wheeling cognitive style in today's complex and rapidly-evolving world. Mlodinow's experience as a TV series writer shines through, as he's turned a subject that would be dry in many authors' hands into a genuine page-turner.If you need to brush up on pop psychology read this Author relabels concepts and ideas, elastic think is simply creative thinking.Very much an essential book to read by everyone Eye opening facts and insights based on scientific research. And is really a must read book for everyone wanting to prepare for the future. To alongside the AI of the future we will need to consciously work to develop our elastic thinking.
