Description
How to thrive as a visual thinker in a verbal world by celebrated author, academic, and autism-rights activist Temple Grandin.
'Grandin has helped us understand autism not just as a phenomenon, but as a different but coherent mode of existence that otherwise confounds us' – The New York Times
Do you think in pictures, patterns, or words?
In a world engineered for the verbal thinker, those of us with a visual brain can often be overlooked and underestimated. In this landmark book, bestselling author of The Autistic Brain, Temple Grandin delves into the world of the visual thinker and reveals the hidden powers of this remarkable ability.
Drawing on the latest research and her own experience as a visual thinker, Grandin reveals how our modern structures, from education and health through to politics and media, are biased towards the dominant verbal thinkers and in turn under-serve those of us who see the world differently. This is a perspective-shifting book that will open your mind to the value of a life in picture.
