    The Science of Getting Mentally Smart

    Лучшая цитата из The Science of Getting Mentally Smart

    “

    Intelligence isn't this single thing we can just boost like turning up the volume on a radio; it's more like having different types of glasses in your cognitive toolkit. The brain has this incredible property called neuroplasticity—it can literally rewire itself throughout your entire life when you challenge it with new, complex tasks.
