Utilizing Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences as a framework, Armstrong argues that there is biological evidence to support at least seven categories of intelligence, but that western society has over-focused on only two of these— mathematical skills and linguistic skills. Armstrong goes on to argue that, if all seven intelligences are considered, everyone has areas in which they are naturally gifted (“intelligent”) and everyone has areas that are natural weaknesses:“One of the gr...more

I'm reading this book, working through it sporadically, and really liking its premise. Also ties in with education and figuring out how best to work with your inner talents, and develop those you want more of, or deal with deficiencies, minimizing their impact on your life.
A great book for parents, managers, anyone who wants to better understand how they and others learn and process information and how you can capitalize on the different kinds of smarts -- in yourself and in a group or family dynamic.
Very, very interesting book about the different ways people are smart. Maybe not everyone is "book smart", but there are more ways of being smart that are just as important. Love this book.
I really enjoyed the description of multiple intelligence theory and its practical application in daily life. It is written for the laity, but I presents some research and analysis.
This is one of those books I have been reading over and over again to learn how I can improve the kinds of "smart" I don't have.
This book is so cool cause you can see which kind of smart you are, and how to improve the kinds of smart that you aren't.
Interesting way to review intelligence. It made me feel a little less dumb.
An interesting new way to look at yourself and those around you.
Just read this book! You waste none of your time..
