Hilde and Ylva Ostby Orden de los libros (cronológico)

Readers of Stolen Focus and Quiet will appreciate this wide-ranging and passionate investigation into creativity: Why and when it strikes us, and how to transform workplaces, classrooms, and societies for creativity to flourish. After a cycling crash leaves her head spinning, journalist Hilde Østby finds herself suddenly bursting with creative energy--which makes her wonder: What's the secret to human creativity? Where do ideas come from? And most importantly: in a society that praises productivity and pace, how can we nurture, rather than suppress, our creative impulses? Using Alice's Adventures in Wonderland as her inspiration, Østby takes readers tumbling down the rabbit hole of ideas. The Key to Creativity features: Interviews with powerhouse creatives--like journalist Michael Pollan, novelist Maja Lunde, and artist Tracey Emin--and decodings of their creative regimens. The cultural history and science behind our "aha" moments, our inner critics, and our idle thoughts. Information on how to foster your creative potential: Østby shares how we can cultivate more creativity in our lives through prioritizing daydreaming and valuing productivity less. With the charm of Alice exploring Wonderland and meeting its curious inhabitants, The Key to Creativity invites us to imagine a world where daydreaming is encouraged and even our strangest ideas have value.

Entre la vida marina y el cerebro humano hay un gran trecho, pero existen algunas similitudes entre los caballitos de mar y el hipocampo. Así como los caballitos de mar machos incuban los huevos en la barriga hasta que las crías puedan salir al mar y valerse por sí mismas, el hipocampo es una especie de incubadora de recuerdos: cuida de ellos y los retiene hasta que sean lo suficientemente grandes y fuertes para poder arreglárselas solos. ¿Cómo se almacenan los recuerdos? ¿Qué nos hace recordar? ¿Por qué olvidamos? Entretenido y accesible, El libro de la memoria nos ofrece una sorprendente mirada al mundo de los recuerdos.
