Autor Simon Baron-Cohenen Limba Engleză Hardback – 10 noi 2020
'Sheds light on one of humanity's most distinctive traits, celebrates human cognitive diversity, and is rich with empathy and psychological insight.' - Steven Pinker
Why can humans alone invent? In this book, psychologist and world renowned autism expert Simon Baron-Cohen puts forward a bold new theory: because we can identify patterns, specificallyif-and-thenpatterns. And he argues that the genes for this unique ability overlap with the genes for autism.
From the first musical instrument to the agricultural, industrial and digital revolutions, Baron-Cohen shows how this unique ability has driven human progress for 70,000 years. By linking one of our greatest human strengths with a condition that is so often misunderstood,The Pattern Seekerschallenges us to think differently about those who think differently.

It's rare to come across a surprising new idea that explains important phenomena, but Simon Baron-Cohen's exploration of abstract pattern-seeking in human affairs is one of them. This book sheds light on one of humanity's most distinctive traits, celebrates human cognitive diversity, and is rich with empathy and psychological insight.
A game-changing book, a passport into exploring the world of innovation and creativity. Most importantly, it celebrates autistic people and is a call for action, to welcome neurodiversity.
A fascinating account of the mechanisms underlying the related capacities of both autistic individuals and innovators.
Erudite, illuminating...His bold new idea, that the genes for autism drove the evolution of human invention, places this disability centre stage in the story of humans.
Based on massive research, Simon Baron-Cohen argues that most of us are specialized in how we perceive the world around us. There are those who focus on people and those who focus on things. The author makes a compelling case that the second kind of mind-the pattern seeker-is at the root of modern human civilization.
Destined to become a classic...In an age of increasing specialization, Baron-Cohen's book comes as a breath of fresh air.
Bold, intriguing, profound.
A wonderful, lyrical celebration of the autistic mind.
