Amazon.co.uk Review
Did you know that you use less than 1 percent of your brain? The good news is that world-renowned brain expert and mind map inventor Tony Buzan can help you to access the other 99 percent. Buzan's book Head First is dedicated to helping you prove you are smarter than you think. The main message is that every one of us possesses multiple natural intelligences. As Buzan explains, "We don't just possess the one standard intelligence quota or 'IQ' that we've all heard of, we each have an amazing ten different intelligences. These intelligences include creative, social, physical, sexual and spiritual skills". Buzan argues that a truly intelligent person is not one who can simply spout words or numbers but one who can react "intelligently" to all situations. Head First shows us how to do this. The book is divided into 10 chapters, each one devoted to a different intelligence. Each chapter contains practical advice and exercises, case studies, a brain work-out and ends with a test to help you gauge how you are doing. The book also contains tips on how to draw mind maps (and has many plate sections with colourful examples) to help you learn how to recall information easily and organise facts and thoughts in such a way that your brain is engaged right from the start. Buzan advises working on each intelligence in turn and starting by working on the area you feel weakest in. If you don't manage to finish the whole book with all it's hundreds of exercises, remember Buzan's promise: "Each intelligence is linked so when you consciously develop one intelligence, you subconsciously improve the others too". --Scarlet Harper
Book Description
The 10 intelligences are:
Creative Intelligence: tips to help you with everything from how to problem-solve at work to how to draw a landscape. Creativity was once thought to be a magic gift possessed by only the few. We now know that it is a magic gift - available to everyone. Unleashing the power of your creative intelligence is simply a matter of understanding how.
Personal Intelligence: tips ranging from how to manage your emotions to how to let go of stress and find calm. You can rank very highly in other intelligences, and still be unhappy with yourself. By exploring the nature of personal intelligence, Head First shows you how your brain can become its own best friend.
Social Intelligence: from tips on how to relate to your friends and family to how to work with a difficult colleague. This intelligence deals with what many experts believe to be the most important intelligence of all; it also shows you how to overcome one of the world's greatest fears. Which one? Read Head First to find out.
Spiritual Intelligence: from how to find your life's purpose to getting involved in helping others. This is concerned with being part of the bigger scheme of things. It involves seeing the "Big picture". You will be able to sort out your life's priorities, and feel more in touch with yourself, with nature and the Universe.
Physical Intelligence: includes a plan on how to get fit and increase your life expectancy. The deep connection between the body and mind is only beginning to be understood, proving the truth of the old adage "a healthy mind in a healthy body". Making the two work together creates an unbeatable combination, and a terrific sense of wholeness, and enabling you to live a longer, more fulfilled life.
Sensual Intelligence: from tips on designing a sensual environment to how to make day-to-day cooking pleasure-filled. It was once thought that your five senses were static and unchanging receptors of information from the world around you. Modern science now shows that each one is a fabulously dynamic, sophisticated and adaptable system. Each one can be developed to your advantage, and will make your life more pleasurable and full. It will also show you how to tap into your intuition. Sexual Intelligence: from finding your ideal partner to becoming a better lover. The largest, most powerful sex organ is between your ears. Contrary to popular belief, to develop this intelligence, you really do need to put your head first.
Numerical Intelligence: from balancing your budget to time-management strategies. Numbers are like an alphabet. Once you know how, making mathematical calculations can become as easy as reading. All of this will add up to becoming number one.
Spatial Intelligence: from improving your sense of direction to learning to do better DIY. Many of the greatest geniuses and athletes of all time were particularly strong in this skill. Developing your ability to be playful will point the way to greatness in all the other intelligences.
Verbal Intelligence: from asking for a pay rise to writing a love letter! This intelligence is based on your vocabulary, and your ability to see relationships between words and their concepts. It is the key to good communication, and forms a major part of standard IQ testing. Once you know how, verbal ability can be easily improved. Talk your way to the top!
