作品简介
这可能是这个时代最具开创性的发现！——卡罗尔·德韦克，超级畅销书《终身成长》作者
《纽约时报杂志》最高阅读量文章颠覆固有认知，你的流体智力并非天注定，也是可提升的！
一段与脑科学的较真之旅，带来一个发人深省的人生真相：认真积极地生活，足以提高认知能力，成为更好的自己。
八岁时，丹·赫尔利被贴上了“学习障碍”的标签，但是三年后，他却成了全优生。
长期以来，科学家们认定智力是天生的，就像是烙刻在灵魂上的钢印。直到2008年，心理学和神经科学家们有了重大发现：人们可以通过训练提升自己的流体智力。
此时，丹·赫尔利已然成为成就斐然的科学记者，他决定化身小白鼠，亲测科学家的新发现。他用时三个月，一路尝试各种大脑训练计划，参加新军训练营，学习文艺复兴时期的乐器——鲁特琴，练习正念冥想，甚至让电流刺激自己的大脑。这段旅程怪异、严谨，又妙趣横生。最终，检测显示他的流体智力提升了大约16%。
丹·赫尔利用亲身经历告诉你：不要屈从顽固的认知，无论是生来迟钝的孩子，脑萎缩的老人，还是因伤而智力受损的成年人，都可以通过积极训练成为更好的自己。这就是人生的真相。
丹·赫尔利，是一位备受赞誉的科学记者。2012年他在《纽约时报杂志》发表了《你能让自己更聪明吗？》一文，并成为该年度阅读量最高的文章。2013年，他在该杂志上发表了另一篇文章——《让你的头脑跳跃发展》，讲述了他接受头颅直流电实验的经历。他还曾在《华盛顿邮报》《神经科学》等报刊上发表过关于提高“流体智力”方面的科普文章，并且在美国公共广播公司的纪录片《更聪明的大脑》中出镜。
Introduction of works
This could be the most groundbreaking discovery of our time! -- Carol Dweck, author of the bestselling book "Lifelong Growth.
The New York Times Magazine Most Read article subverts conventional wisdom, your fluid intelligence is not predestined, but also can be improved!
A journey with brain science brings a thought-provoking truth about life: living seriously and actively is enough to improve cognitive ability and become a better self.
At age eight, Dan Hurley was labeled "learning disabled," but three years later, he was a straight-A student.
Scientists have long assumed that intelligence is innate, like a steel stamp engraved on the soul. Then, in 2008, psychologists and neuroscientists made a major discovery: People can train to increase their fluid intelligence.
By this time, Dan Hurley had become an accomplished science journalist, and he decided to become a guinea pig to test the scientists' new discoveries. He spent three months trying out various brain training programs along the way, attending a boot camp for the New Army, learning the Renaissance instrument the lute, practicing mindfulness meditation, and even allowing electricity to stimulate his brain. The journey is weird, rigorous and fun. Eventually, tests showed that his fluid intelligence had improved by about 16 percent.
Dan Hull uses personal experience to tell you: don't give in to stubborn perceptions, whether it is a child born slow, an elderly person with brain atrophy, or an adult with mental impairment due to injury, you can become a better self through positive training. That's the truth of life.
Dan Hurley is an award-winning science journalist. In 2012, he published "Can You Make Yourself Smarter?" in The New York Times Magazine. It became the most read article of the year. In 2013, he published another article in the magazine, "Let Your Mind Jump and Develop," about his experiences undergoing direct current experiments in the skull. He has also published popular science articles on improving "fluid intelligence" in the Washington Post, Neuroscience and other publications, and appeared in the PBS documentary "Smarter Brain."
