Harvard Book Store welcomes DANIEL J. LEVITIN, bestselling author of This Is Your Brain on Music, for a discussion of his new-to-paperback book The Organized Mind: Thinking Straight in the Age of Information Overload.
Readers of Daniel J. Levitin’s two previous New York Times bestsellers have come to know and trust his unique ability to translate cutting edge neuroscience into an informative and entertaining narrative. Now Levitin turns his attention to an issue that affects everyone in the digital age: organization. It’s the reason that some people are more adept than others at managing today’s hyper-flow of data. The Organized Mind explains the science behind their success and—with chapters targeted specifically to business readers—shows how all of us can make small but crucial changes to regain mastery over our lives.
"[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." —The Wall Street Journal
"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." —The Washington Post
