The Overflowing Brain (Den översvämmade hjärnan)
- Work Memory, IQ and the Rising Flood of Information
Torkel Klingberg
Many people today wonder how much information our brains can actually hold before they begin to shut down from information overload. The stress is enormous and different people have different abilities in sorting information they don’t need. The advances in information technology have turned everyday life into a whirlwind of impressions and choices. Modern Westerners see just as many different faces in one day as a Cro-Magnon man did during an entire year. How have we managed to adjust to this enormously quick change? Why do some people manage the increasing amount of information better than others?
Reading The Overflowing Brain can give hope and reassurance, and you find a new friend – in your own head! Your brain really wants to do its utmost for you as an individual; it knows what you like and works extra hard when something appears positive to you. In this book, you will learn how to train your brain like you train your muscles, you just have to know the techniques, and when and how to use them!
