What to expect
Brought to you by Penguin.
Do you think in pictures, patterns or words?
In a world engineered for the verbal thinker, those of us with a visual brain can often be overlooked and underestimated. In this landmark book, international bestselling author and activist Temple Grandin transforms our understanding of how our brains are wired differently.
Bringing together cutting-edge research and her own experience as a visual thinker, Grandin reveals a ground-breaking new approach to revolutionizing modern structures such as education, health and media so that they equally serve people with all kinds of minds. Visual Thinking is a perspective shifting book that will open our eyes to the value of a life in picture.
'Grandin has helped us understand autism not just as a phenomenon, but as a different and coherent mode of existence that otherwise confounds us' The New York Times
'A powerful and provocative testament to the diverse coalition of minds we'll need to face the mounting challenges of the twenty-first century' Steve Silberman, bestselling author of NeuroTribes

Temple Grandin has concocted a delicious dish of provocative ideas and new research, served in clear, logical, fluid prose. What I love most about her work is her seamless fusion of scientific detachment and passionate empathy
