Reviews
"An insightful memoir from an eminent psychologist." -- Kirkus Reviews "It's been quipped that theories in psychology are true of those who propose them, and that's certainly the case with Howard Gardner: creative, openminded, artful, disciplined, and in command of multiple intelligences. It's a cause for celebration that one of our most influential living psychologists has trained his insight onto his own life and work." - Steven Pinker, Johnstone Professor of Psychology, Harvard University; author of How the Mind Works and Enlightenment Now "Read this book for Gardner's self-reflection--a mind that synthesizes ideas writing about how it came to be a mind that synthesizes ideas--and for what he has to say about the changing academic and intellectual world around him. Are we narrowing our focus when we most need open minds?" - Sherry Turkle, Professor, MIT; author of Reclaiming Conversation: The Power of Talk in a Digital Age and Alone Together: Why We Expect More from Technology and Less from Each Other "Howard Gardner has done what scholars dream of doing but rarely accomplish: he had a powerfully original idea which he developed in a way that changed an entire field, reaching well beyond the academy and affecting our nation's social policy and collective understanding. A Synthesizing Mind is an illuminating account of how such a breakthrough came about, a thick description of the life trajectory and the intellectual formation that led to this enduring achievement." - Stephen Greenblatt, author of Tyrant: Shakespeare on Politics "In a world where brains and neurons have too readily been exploited as explanations for human behavior, Howard Gardner's much awaited memoir takes us in a different direction: into the life of the mind. More impressively still, this deeply reflective text opens up to every reader's inspection the extraordinary mind in the life of one of the greatest and most frequently cited intellectuals of modern times." - Andy Hargreaves, Research Professor, Boston College; author of Moving: A Memoir of Education and Social Mobility "This is a personal yet objective account of the evolution of a peerless scholar. Howard's reflective storytelling and his insightful narration of the events that shaped him are a joy to read, giving us an intimate insight into how multiple, often seemingly disparate threads intertwine to shape an exceptional mind." -Kiran Bir Sethi, Founder, The Riverside School and Design for Change "An insightful memoir from an eminent psychologist." -Kirkus Review, "It's been quipped that theories in psychology are true of those who propose them, and that's certainly the case with Howard Gardner: creative, openminded, artful, disciplined, and in command of multiple intelligences.
