Annie Murphy Paul: Why Your Best Thinking Happens Outside Your Head
About this episode
Annie Murphy Paul discusses her theory of the Extended Mind and how external factors enhance our thinking.
Science journalist Annie Murphy Paul explains her theory of the Extended Mind - how we think better when we use our bodies, environments, and relationships rather than keeping everything in our heads.
