This book is absolutely fantastic. It describes one of our #1 problem which is : we know that we make snap judgments, we know that those judgments are powerful but we do not know how to educate them and put them to good use. This book is full of examples of people using efficiently and appropriately those rapid cognition abilities to improve their understanding of their environment.
I would definitely recommend this book to anyone interested in the human brain !
This book is absolutely wonderful and sheds a light of optimism on the past and future of humanity. The first chapters are devoted to arguing Mr Pinker's point with the numbers while the remaining one describe the underlining psychological reasons that support such trends. The language used is clear which makes this book very accessible even for non-specialists. The only thing that annoyed me a bit was that sometimes all the data is a bit confusing !
This book is a wonderful source of knowledge about education in the US and also about the different experimentations that have been set up in order to increase children success. This book focuses especially on pupils with poor living conditions but gives a sense of hope throughout the book. The language is very easy and it just flows perfectly so it's easy and fast to read this wonderful book.
This book is absolutely wonderful, it's a great source of knowledge for anyone undergoing transformation. This book taught me that when you start a project of any kind don't be afraid to step in again afterwards when everything is going wrong to make it corresponding to your original vision no matter what it takes.
Superbe pièce écrit dans un langage bien plus abordable que la version de Sophocle. Le message est également différent et la version de Giraudoux permet de mieux comprendre certains concepts clés de psychologie.
