Practical Intelligence: The Art and Science of Common Sense

"Albrecht’s practical intelligence builds on the ideas of multiple intelligence, outlining a series of guidelines and exercises to promote better approaches to problem solving" (Financial Times, Thursday 19th July 2007)

“What could be more important than helping people, at every age and stage of life learn to use their minds more successfully? Karl Albrecht has given us a terrific resource for doing just that. His comprehensively four ‘software upgrades’ and four ‘mega-skills’ provide a wonderfully comprehensive framework for practical intelligence.”--Dr. Sidney J. Parnes, co-developer with Alex Osborn of the Creative Education Foundation

 

“This brilliant, ebullient, and brainy book brings us new means to gray matter. At turns high-minded and hilarious, Practical Intelligence will remain the source book for many years of the best thinking about thinking well.”--Jean Houston, author, The Possible Human
