THE POWER OF LANGUAGE - VIORICA MARIAN GEBUNDEN

Sparkles with insight.”—Daniel PinkOne of Behavioral Scientist’s Summer Books of 2023One of
Next Big Idea Club’s 7 Books that Reveal the Wonders of Writing and LanguageThis revolutionary
book goes beyond any recent book on language to dissect how language operates in our minds and
how to harness its virtually limitless power. As Dr. Marian explains  while you may well think
you speak only one language  in fact your mind accommodates multiple codes of communication.
Some people speak Spanish  some Mandarin. Some speak poetry  some are fluent in math. The human
brain is built to use multiple languages  and using more languages opens doors to creativity 
brain health  and cognitive control. Every new language we speak shapes how we extract and
interpret information. It alters what we remember  how we perceive ourselves and the world
around us  how we feel  the insights we have  the decisions we make  and the actions we take.
Language is an invaluable tool for organizing  processing  and structuring information  and
thereby unleashing radical advancement. Learning a new language has broad lifetime consequences
and Dr. Marian reviews research showing that it: · Enhances executive function—our ability to
focus on the things that matter and ignore the things that don’t. · Results in higher scores on
creative-thinking tasks. · Develops critical reasoning skills. · Delays Alzheimer’s and other
types of dementia by four to six years. · Improves decisions made under emotional duress. ·
Changes what we see  pay attention to  and recall.
