By Shane O'Mara

Have you ever wondered what happens inside your head when you think? How do you generate new ideas? Solve problems? Make decisions?

In Thinking Loud, Thinking Clearly, acclaimed neuroscientist Shane O'Mara invites us to explore the remarkable world of human thinking. Drawing on the latest research in neuroscience, psychology, and philosophy, O'Mara provides a fascinating and accessible account of how our brains give rise to our thoughts, feelings, and actions.

O'Mara begins by exploring the basic building blocks of thought, such as attention, memory, and language. He then shows how these building blocks are combined to create more complex cognitive processes, such as problem-solving, decision-making, and creativity.

O'Mara also discusses the role of emotion in thinking. He argues that emotions are not simply opposed to reason, but are actually essential for clear thinking. Emotions can help us to focus our attention, prioritize information, and make decisions.

Finally, O'Mara considers the implications of his research for our understanding of ourselves and our place in the world. He argues that thinking is not a purely internal process, but is instead shaped by our interactions with others and our environment. Thinking is a social activity, and it is only through our interactions with others that we can truly understand the world around us.

Thinking Loud, Thinking Clearly is a groundbreaking exploration of the human mind. This book will change the way you think about thinking.
