Wider than the sky -- Measuring minds: intelligence and talent -- Seeing what is not there -- A world of words -- The number instinct -- The biology of creativity -- Light to sight -- Food for thought -- Thinking by numbers -- The future of the mind.

The author of Born on a Blue Day combines meticulous scientific research with detailed descriptions of how his mind works to demonstrate the immense potential within us all. He explains how our natural intuitions can help us to learn a foreign language, why his memories are like symphonies, why there is more to intelligence than IQ, how our brains turn light to sight, why too much information can make you stupid, and more.
