Penguin Canada, [New edition]., Toronto, Ontario, Canada, Ontario, 2015
Levitin, Daniel J, author 🔍
description
xxvi, 496 pages : 21 cm
"The information age is drowning us in 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 person reports frequently losing car keys or reading glasses, missing appointments, and feeling worn out by the effort required just to keep up. But somehow some people become quite accomplished at managing information flow. In The Organized Mind, Daniel J. Levitin, Ph.D., uses the latest brain science to demonstrate how those people excel -- and how readers can use these methods to regain a sense of mastery over the way they organize their homes, workplaces, and lives." --
