In an age when we are constantly being asked to retrain and
reinvent ourselves, to adapt to new technologies and changing
industries, this book assuages our fears and inspires us with a
sense of possibility. Our passions and talents may actually
surprise us. In MINDSHIFT, Barbara Oakley tells the stories of
people who have overcome learning "handicaps" of all kinds - such
as Imposter's Syndrome and advancing age - and shows how we can
turn perceived weaknesses into strengths. For example, people may
feel like they're at a disadvantage if they pursue a new field
later in life - yet those who change careers can be fertile
cross-pollinators - they bring valuable insights from one
discipline to another. The power of simple persistence in building
talent is, also, often underestimated. Dr. Oakley reveals the
latest neuroscientific insights into how our brains change when we
learn something new. She shares strategies for learning that are
backed by brain science, including practical exercises to apply in
our own lives.
