From the Back Cover
Praise for The Wisdom Paradox:
"Impressive. . . Wide-ranging. . . . The Wisdom Paradox makes a compelling case for the possibility of maintaining a sharp mind far into old age."
—KENNETH SILBER, SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN MIND
"Good news: Our brains can and do improve with age. The evidence Goldberg presents is thorough and indisputable . . . Informative and entertaining."
—Diane Stressing, The Plain Dealer (Cleveland)
"[A] graceful exposition of the latest findings in developmental neuropsychology, brain mapping, and computational neuroscience. . . Goldberg overturns stale assumptions about the different functions of the two sides of the brain and about the roles of the frontal lobes. . . It is still cheering, in an era that worships youth, to be reminded that age can bring its own intellectual gifts."
—Emma Crichton-Miller, The Telegraph (London)
"The Wisdom Paradox is unusually easy and enjoyable to read for a book loaded with information and ideas about the brain. . . [Goldberg] is a gifted explicator and a talented writer."
—Cerebrum
"A book of wise reflections on the gains, not the losses, that come to the older human mind. Here is a valuable addition to the literature on aging."
—ANTONIO R. DAMASIO, AUTHOR OF DESCARTES’ ERROR, THE FEELING OF WHAT HAPPENS, AND LOOKING FOR SPINOZA
