“DEVIATE: The Science of Seeing Differently” by Beau Lotto [*]

Here is a book I recommend.


In the wake of recent elections, Brexit and other unusual world events, many feel weighed down by uncertainty. It’s no surprise that the more interconnected our world becomes the more immediately we feel the consequences of current events. But, what you may not know is that while the brain hates uncertainty, it also holds the key to adapting to, and even thriving in, uncertain times. In his groundbreaking book DEVIATE: The Science of Seeing Differently (Hachette Books), world-renowned neuroscientist, entrepreneur, and two-time TED speaker Beau Lotto draws on over two decades of research to reveal startling truths about the brain and how it perceives the world. Along the way, Lotto brilliantly illustrates how we see the world, and then how we can see differently, ultimately unlocking our ability to create, innovate, and effect change.
