Recenzii

The Organized Mindis the perfect antidote to the effects of information overload. Loved it.
Sensible, practical advice ... a comprehensive account of the way we think about organizing everything from our possessions to our friends

[An] impressively wide-ranging and thoughtful work...The Organized Mind is an organized book, but it also rewards dipping in at any point, for there are fascinating facts and examples throughout
Dan Levitin has more insights per page than any other neuroscientist I know. The Organized Mind is smart, important, and as always, exquisitely written
From how not to lose your keys to how to decide when the risks of surgery are worth it, Levitin focuses on smart ways to process the constant flow of information the brain must deal with
An erudite synthesis of Levitin's own contributions, recent advances in our understanding of attention and memory, and a deep perspective on the ways the human mind works
Levitin is about as knowledgeable a guide to neuroscience as one might hope for
