In 'Body Intelligence', Guy Claxton challenges the traditional conception of intelligence as something purely mental. Based on the latest discoveries in neuroscience and psychology, Claxton argues that the body is fundamental to our intelligent life. Through the endocrine system, our organs communicate, influencing conscious decision-making. The author shows how the overvaluation of cerebral thought has affected modern society, promoting a sedentary lifestyle and a devaluation of manual labor. Claxton proposes techniques to reconnect with our body and enrich our lives by valuing body intelligence.
cognitive scientist and educationalist (1947-)
