The Distracted Mind by Adam Gazzaley and Larry D. Rosen is a book
for our times. We are nothing if
not distracted and the authors lay out the internal and external reasons why.
Of course, laying out the problem
is only part of the book. The rest
is about what to do about it. The
authors outline lots of suggestions, each with an indication of what level of
scientific support it had. Some
ideas just seem like reasonable hypotheses with no good studies to back them
up. Others have what they describe
as “signal” levels of evidence, but still require more research to be
definitive. Only one of their
suggestions made it all the way to their highest category, “prescriptive.” It was physical exercise.
Go forth and exercise. It will help your brain.
