In this groundbreaking book, Sian Beilock, award-winning scientist and author of the highly acclaimed \u003ci\u003eChoke\u003c\/i\u003e, draws on her own cutting-edge research to turn the conventional understanding of the mind upside down in ways that will revolutionize our lives. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAt the heart of \u003ci\u003eHow the Body Knows Its Mind\u003c\/i\u003e is the tantalizing idea that our bodies \"hack\" our brains. The way we move affects our thoughts, our decisions, and even our preferences for particular products. Called \"embodied cognition,\" this new science--of which Beilock is a foremost researcher--illuminates the power of the body and its physical surroundings to shape how we think, feel, and behave. For example, pacing around the room can enhance creativity; gesturing during a speech can help ensure you don't draw a blank; teaching kids through body movement helps them learn better; walking in nature boosts concentration skills; using Botox could lead to less depression; and much more. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Insightful, informative, and beautifully written\" (Daniel Gilbert, author of \u003ci\u003eStumbling on Happiness\u003c\/i\u003e), \u003ci\u003eHow the Body Knows Its Mind \u003c\/i\u003eunveils a wealth of fascinating mind-body interconnections and explores how mastering them can make us happier, safer, and more successful.\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 288\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 x 8.3 x 5.4 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 14, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51760742793504,"sku":"9781451626698","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/3936363041b0e3724696395e7ef18a24.webp?v=1780188645","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/how-the-body-knows-its-mind-the-surprising-power-of-the-physical-environment-to-influence-how-you-think-and-feel-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
