Summary

Science journalist Annie Murphy Paul explains her theory of the Extended Mind - how we think better when we use our bodies, environments, and relationships rather than keeping everything in our heads. The conversation covers gesture and memory, why big screens beat laptops for creative work, the neuroscience of exercise, and how physical spaces shape intelligent thinking. Hosted on Acast.
