No fictional character is more renowned for his extraordinary
powers of mind than Sherlock Holmes. But what exactly is it that
sets him apart as a detective of the highest order, and can we
harness his genius? In Mastermind, psychologist Maria Konnikova
shows us how we can all channel Holmes's famous powers of
deduction, observation, memory and imagination. Drawing on the
latest research in neuroscience and psychology, Konnikova unpacks
the mental strategies that can help sharpen our perceptions,
improve our logic and enhance our creative powers. Mastermind is a
remarkable and entertaining guide to upgrading the mind.
