This ground-breaking book helps us discover all the ways we are smart. Based on three decades of teaching and research, it shows that we have at least ten kinds of aptitude---emotional and behavioral as well as mental. Personal stories and simple exercises teach us to access all ten, including: Spatial intelligence to pre-visualize important new projects; Motivational intelligence to light your creative fire; Mood intelligence to grow despite adversity; Pattern intelligence to combat addictions and negative habits; Intuitive intelligence to gain in spiritual wisdom; Parameter intelligence to sustain what you love and live in harmony with the universe.
This book is an excellent resource for anyone who wants to understand how the human brain really works. The author cites solid research to support the evidence that people learn in many different ways. For years people have been taught that learning is simply a cognitive activity. This book illustrates how other types of learning, such as emotional intelligence, compliment and interact with cognitive processes. Understanding, recognizing, and appreciating non-cognitive ways of learning is essential if we desire to empower people who are primarily non-cognitive learners.
Expands intelligence research to a new level. Excellent!

In Three Faces of Mind Elaine De Beauport has beautifully combined research, years of observation and her own experiences to expand current theories on intelligence. She has taken the three parts of the physical brain and attributed to them 10 separate types of intelligence. Each type has its own chapter combining exercises and insight. Excellent!!!!
