About this listen
Many of us believe that we have a short window during childhood to grow, adapt, and develop new skills before our brains are set in stone, and that a chosen few are inherently smarter than others—but that’s just not the case. In truth, our brains remain plastic through our lives. Intelligence is neither fixed nor innate. So how do you break through that rigid self-image and actualize your inner genius?
The Genius and the Impostor reveals why the story we’ve been telling about human intelligence is outdated and wrong, why it matters, and what we can do about it. Dr. Josh Turknett skillfully breaks down:
- The incredible cognitive capability of every brain
- The real engine of intelligence that enables us to learn anything, at any age
- Why we avoid challenges and neglect our natural curiosities
- How our internal narrator hijacks our brain and stifles genius
The evidence shows that our intelligence isn’t a fixed trait we can quantify with a test, but a dynamic, evolving capacity that grows and transforms through continuous learning and experience. This book reveals the science behind why your cognitive potential is far greater than you think, the real obstacles that limit it, and how you can break through them.
