SUMMARY:92NY Live presents "Malcolm Gladwell in Conversation with Angus Fletcher: Primal Intelligence"
DESCRIPTION:FREE for members & non-members \nJoin Malcolm Gladwell\, bestselling author of The Tipping Point and Blink\, for a visionary conversation with Angus Fletcher about the hidden roots and untapped potential of human intelligence as described in his new book\, Primal Intelligence: You Are Smarter Than You Think You Know. \nHow are some people so much smarter than the rest of us? Where do visionaries like Abraham Lincoln\, Maya Angelou\, Nikola Tesla\, Marie Curie\, Albert Einstein\, Warren Buffett\, and William Shakespeare get their extraordinary intelligence? In 2021\, Angus Fletcher and a research team set out to find out the answer—and what they learned has enormous implications for human intelligence in the age of AI. Primal Intelligence\, as Fletcher calls it\, expands our definitions of intelligence to value intuition\, imagination\, and emotion as much as reason and logic. \nTested and adopted by the US Army\, Primal Intelligence training has allowed people to cope better with change and uncertainty\, experience less anger and anxiety\, and make better decisions. Fletcher’s new book is a guide to an expanded sense of what the human mind can do. \nIn this special conversation\, hear Gladwell and Fletcher discuss Fletcher’s groundbreaking research—and find out how this new neuroscientific approach to imagination\, emotion\, and common sense can tap into a new wellspring of genius\, help human beings gain an edge on AI\, and much more.
