New York Times bestselling author and neuroscientist Daniel J. Levitin shifts his keen insights from your brain on music to your brain in a sea of details. The information age is drowning us with an unprecedented deluge of data. At the same time, we're expected to make more--and faster--decisions about our lives than ever before. No wonder, then, that the average American reports frequently losing car keys or reading glasses, missing appointments, and feeling worn out by the effort required just to keep up. But somehow some people become quite accomplished at managing information flow. In The Organized Mind, Daniel J. Levitin, PhD, uses the latest brain science to demonstrate how those people excel--and how readers can use their methods to regain a sense of mastery over the way they organize their homes, workplaces, and time. With lively, entertaining chapters on everything from the kitchen junk drawer to health care to executive office workflow, Levitin reveals how new research into the cognitive neuroscience of attention and memory can be applied to the challenges of our daily lives. This Is Your Brain on Music showed how to better play and appreciate music through an understanding of how the brain works. The Organized Mind shows how to navigate the churning flood of information in the twenty-first century with the same neuroscientific perspective.

Best!!!!!!

One of the best books I've stumbled upon in the last year. An eye opening and intriguing book filled with plenty of useful information. I encourage everyone to give it a chance and decide for oneself if it's the book for you. I would also like to say that it does need an update considering the rapid expansion of influence social media has on the masses.

Great book!

Overall, this was a thought provoking and fascinating book about how the brain processes information and how to best utilize our most powerful tool to focus on important information and tune out the noise.

Good Read

The author explains how our brains work, how they become cluttered, and why multi-tasking and doing too much at once is not only bad for your brain but overwhelming. By a well know near-scientist who writes for lay people. Could be edited down a bit, but you can read it in short sittings so that is OK. I like his explanation of why I think I am loosing short term memory, but actually I am not. Just seems that way because I try to do too much. Brain overload. Too much electronic communication.
