The space we create -- Surfaces -- Shaping the self -- The hidden hand -- Pulling strings -- Perspectives -- Learning to solve problems -- Purpose -- Costs -- Of one mind.
An examination of the intricate, mutually responsive relationship between the mind and the body as they engage (or don't engage) in all manner of physical action. How you decide if you can drive through a snowstorm? How high you are willing to climb up a ladder to change a lightbulb? Grafton accounts for the design and workings of the action-oriented brain in synchronicity with the body in the natural world, and shows how physical intelligence is inherent in all of us-- and always in problem-solving mode. He demonstrates the relevance of physical intelligence with examples that each of us might face-- whether the situation is mundane, exceptional, extreme, or compromised. -- adapted from jacket
