Description

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 steadily losing car keys or reading glasses, missing appointments, and feeling worn out by the effort required just to keep up.

But in some way some people grow to be relatively accomplished at managing information waft. In The Organized Mind, Daniel J. Levitin, PhD, uses the recent 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 vigorous, 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 may also be applied to the challenges of our day by day 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.
