I added the vodpod sidebar widget on the right so I wouldn’t have to make an entire post about a video if I thought it was interesting, but the video I’m about to recommend deserves a whole post all of its own.
This video is a recording of Dr John Medina talking (in May last year. Sorry it’s late) about 2-and-a-bit rules from his book Brain Rules, about how the brain learns and how to get the most out of it. There are twelve rules covered in the book, available here. I think his arguments in this presentation are thoroughly supported by evidence and worth incorporating into daily life. As soon as I get a chance I will be *devouring* Brain Rules.
It’s a long video (52-odd minutes), recorded at a presentation for Google employees, but in the last 30 seconds he confirms a position I have been arguing for years.
What, you ask? You’ll have to watch and find out. Here it is:
