Additional Information
Do you have a keen sense of direction, a love of puzzles, the ability to assemble IKEA furniture without crying? You are likely a visual thinker.
A quarter of a century after her memoir Thinking in Pictures forever changed how the world understood autism, Temple Grandin transforms our awareness of the different ways our brains are wired.
With her genius for demystifying science, Grandin draws on cutting-edge research to take us inside visual thinking. Visual thinkers constitute a far greater proportion of the population than previously believed, she reveals, and a more varied one, from the purest ‘object visualizers’ like Grandin herself, with their intuitive knack for design and problem solving, to the abstract, mathematically inclined ‘visual spatial’ thinkers who excel in pattern recognition and systemic thinking. She also makes us understand how a world increasingly geared to the verbal tends to sideline visual thinkers, screening them out at school and passing over them in the workplace. Rather than continuing to waste their singular gifts, driving a collective loss in productivity and innovation, Grandin proposes new approaches to educating, parenting, employing, and collaborating with visual thinkers.
In a highly competitive world, this important book helps us see that we need every mind on board.
Temple Grandin is a professor of animal science at Colorado State University and the author of the New York Times bestsellers Animals in Translation, Animals Make Us Human, The Autistic Brain, and Thinking in Pictures. She has been a pioneer in improving the welfare of farm animals as well as an outspoken advocate for the autism community. Dr. Grandin resides in Fort Collins, Colorado.
