"Nothing in life is as important as you think it is when you are thinking about it."
Another of my favourite pieces of literature that I have found over the past few years. This book is an absolutely fascinating read. I first became aware of Daniel Kahneman and his work randomly when watching TV one evening and immediately bought this book.
This book, along with most things that i read, is about the brain and how it works. The concept of the brain having different speeds of functioning was not a new one on me, but the ways in which the author explains the reasoning for the differing speeds is what i find incredibly fascinating and, most importantly, absolutely invaluable when it comes to my own learning and teaching.
This book offers any sports coach, teacher, parent or student an insight into how the brains is working. This can be so helpful, as you can be so much more patient in your teaching as you understand why it is taking some longer than others to achieve the session goals. I strongly recommend this book to anyone involved in teaching or coaching.
