In a time when we are constantly asked to retrain ourselves and rediscover ourselves to adapt to new technologies and changing industries, this book shows us how we can discover talents we never knew we had, and then develop them regardless of our age or background. We are often told to "follow your passion," but in this book, Dr. Barbara Oakley explains how we can expand our passion. Drawing on the latest insights in neuroscience, Oakley guides us beyond simplistic ideas of "ability" and "skill," which only reflect a snapshot of who we are now and do not consider how much we can change. Traits considered "negative," such as poor memory, may hold hidden advantages like increased creativity. By showcasing examples from around the world of people who have overcome learning limitations in various forms, Dr. Oakley shows us how we can transform what are perceived as "weaknesses," such as imposter syndrome or aging, into strengths. Our biggest stumbling blocks may be our preconceived notions, but with the right mental insight, we can harness our potential and create new opportunities.
