In Mind in Motion, psychologist Barbara Tversky shows that spatial cognition isn't just a peripheral aspect of thought, but its very foundation, enabling us to draw meaning from our bodies and their actions in the world. Our actions in real space get turned into mental actions on thought, often spouting spontaneously from our bodies as gestures. Spatial thinking underlies creating and using maps, assembling furniture, devising football strategies, designing airports, understanding the flow of people, traffic, water, and ideas.

Use the mental tools that the world's greatest thinkers used to generate epiphanies, explore the world, and think more clearly. Philosophical and exploratory thinking pushes your boundaries and opens new worlds. Improve critical thinking by applying it in innovative and novel ways. Learn to thrive in uncertain situations and contemplate more thoroughly and deeply. Intrigue, fascinate, and challenge yourself with thought experiments - and see your thinking prowess grow exponentially.
