June 8th, 2008Categories | Cognitive Science | Getting Things Done | Recommended Reading
Just came across this announcement from O’Reilly Media for a book I imagine will be of interest to quite a few GTDtimes readers: “Your Brain: the Missing Manual“.
From O’Reilly’s dexcription of the book:
Description
Your Brain: The Missing Manual is a practical look at how to get the most out of your brain — not just how the brain works, but how you can use it more effectively. What makes this book different than the average self-help guide is that it’s grounded in current neuroscience. You get a quick tour of several aspects of the brain, complete with useful advice you can apply to everyday situations.And don’t miss the Gallery of Illustrations from Your Brain: The Missing Manual.
For more detail on what this book contains, the table of contents is also available online.
Hi,
A great book too is the Pragmatic Thinking and Learning: Refactor Your “Wetware”, from our beloved Pragmatic Programmers (http://pragprog.com/titles/ahptl/pragmatic-thinking-and-learning).
Even if the book is in beta currently (meaning unfinished, but you get updates as soon as theyr are out), it’s terrific.
Good recommendation. I also like the O’Reilly book called “Mind Hacks.”
From the table os contents I would guess this title is a bit superficial if compared with Mind Hacks and Mind Performance Hacks, both also from O’Reilly - I also strongly recommend http://www.mindhacks.com blog
