摘要:Mind Magic draws on the revolutionary ideas of Swiss thinker Jean Piaget (found in a recent survey, to be considered the second most influential psychologist of the 20th century) to reveal the new concept of "mind-consciousness." Piaget's ideas about how our minds work have long been considered keys to teaching and learning, and now John Laurence Miller, Ph. D., who personally studied with Piaget, presents the first book to present the practical implications of Piaget's theories for adults as well as children. Piaget's theories are considered as important for understanding intelligence and mind development as Freud's were important for understanding personality. Mind Magic shows readers how to apply the ideas of this revolutionary thinker's work.; Professor Miller builds on that pioneering work to demonstrate how everyone can learn to understand how their own mind naturally works, and to use that knowledge to build intelligence. Miller combines problem-solving and learning techniques from a variety of fields, including education, math, and computer science, to demonstrate the importance of observing one's own mind at work so that one can develop the three components of intelligence that matter most in today's world: adaptability; creativity; information management; He explains the research that shows that these are all learnable skills (including creativity) and that each person is potentially more intelligent than he or she may think.; In addition, Dr. Miller shows how to gain the confidence necessary to aim for higher achievements and explains how to make "logical intelligence" and "emotional intelligence" work together for powerful results.
