Before a child enters school, he or she learns on multiple levels in a variety of ways, with all the senses. Adult learning usually be rigid and standardized. The school may ignore the fact that every learner is unique and processes material in different ways.
Brian Walsh book "Unleashing Your brilliance," will be the value for teachers, students, corporate management and anyone who wants to improve his or her life, because it clarifies that the brain operates on many levels, and use its full potential to enhance creativity and promote learning. Walsh spent a little time to understand where the obstacles to education, come from--for example, hours spent studying in memorization rather than actual learning.
To discuss the biological basis of learning, Dr. Walsh suggests that we need to integrate the right brain and left-brain in order to empower our thinking. Walsh describes how Einstein would use an image-streaming (-thought process resulting from his right brain) then use the powers of the critical left brain right brain to decode process.
Walsh discusses the multiple forms of intelligence and goes into depth about each of them. They include verbal language; mathematical logic; spatial; music; bodily kinesthetic; social interpersonal and spiritual inside personal computers. Mentions that a person with great intelligence, bodily kinesthetic, sitting on a desk at school may be cramping, by stifling experience and adds that many such children may incorrectly diagnosed with ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). This part of the book was helpful to me, because I have two nephews diagnosed disorder ADHD. They love sports and are physically active, and I am sure if they are misdiagnosed and may benefit from a kinesthetic approach.
After considering many si, Walsh suggests actions that individuals can use to strengthen each of them. For example, someone interested in improving their language skills verbal, you can read, play word games, or krzyzcwki, malowanki, join Toastmasters International, among other activities. Schools tend to emphasize the skills of language and logic in mathematics and sometimes Ignore certain other si.
Walsh also discusses hypnosis, Neurolinguistic programming, reading and science photo of a second language.
While there are tools which can help to facilitate learning, there are also factors and events that may impede it--the crucial one is stress. Memory events, Astonishing, lying motionless for years, can be triggered and cause "negative beliefs, desires, fantasies, compulsions, obsessions, addictions and dissociation. This toxic brew may impede learning and memory. Even simple stress involved in taking the test, you can reduce the brain.
During the discussion of stress, Walsh stresses the importance of emotional Intelligence (EI), something else than many si already listed. Emotional intelligence may be more important than traditional I.Q. in the pursuit of satisfying life. Low EI can be disastrous. "Low EI can sabotage intellect and destroy the ventures, relationships and career. Stutson can be strengthened through training and/or treatment. " Walsh suggests then some tools to help of emotion--exposure to natural light between them.
In "Unleashing your brilliance," Walsh includes many topics, using the latest expertise of scientists and Psychologists. His books are clear and organized. Writing about these difficult topics is easy to understand. It suggests many ways that users can use their minds more effectively. This excellent book will be useful to people with the objective in mind, that is to use the interview.
