What do we think? If we answer “head”, business consultant Karl Albrecht disagrees: “The first principle of practical intelligence to understand is that you think with your whole body, not with a separate area of the cerebral cortex.”
What do we think? If we answer “head”, business consultant Karl Albrecht disagrees: “The first principle of practical intelligence to understand is that you think with your whole body, not with a separate area of the cerebral cortex.” And thought, by his definition, is “an informational event in which the whole organism participates.” These statements are not unfounded: they are based on the results of experiments. For example, it has been proven that 15 minutes of meditation increases the concentration of antibodies involved in providing immunity in the saliva of the subjects. This did not happen when they were just resting. And in case we also want to improve our immune system or meditate for another purpose, among the applications at the end of the book is a simple and effective “Harvard meditation”. And this, in turn, is a particular example of how “practical intelligence” works: practicality is the main principle of this book. Not only is it pleasant to hold and interesting to read, but you can (or even should) start using it right away – to create new ideas, solve problems, and just for the pleasure that we get from exercising our intellect.
