Medha Manan Bodh Buddhi by Dr. Shyamal Chakrabarty [Hardcover]

Cognitive neuroscience is tirelessly exploring the mysteries of the special abilities of human brains, such as intelligence, intellect, and creativity. This book encapsulates the essence of research and experience from the last fifteen years in this field. Intelligence is not only innate but also significantly influenced by the environment. The author aims to reconstruct the concept of intelligence, moving away from conventional ideas, and integrating scientific, philosophical, literary, anthropological, social, educational, and creative perspectives.

The book provides an extensive insight into modern concepts of socio-emotional intelligence, also known as Emotional Quotient (EQ), alongside traditional intelligence and IQ. It delves into the influence of various environments and educational methods on the development of intelligence, and also offers a deep analysis of the role of cultural contexts in intellectual growth.

In addition to a detailed, engaging analysis of the science of creativity, the author also discusses post-modern thoughts on the reconstruction of intelligence. Overall, this book is an essential companion for anyone interested in the study of intelligence.
