On ‘Visual Thinking’

The Hidden Gifts of People Who Think in Pictures, Patterns, and Abstractions by Temple Grandin

I recently finished Temple Grandin’s excellent Visual Thinking, which I highly recommend. It’s particularly interesting for me as I am able to think visually, but I do so in combination with verbal thinking (a “voice” in my head). Learning that a sizable percentage of the population, including family members, don’t have that voice was fascinating. So, I wanted to share a few passages I highlighted to spread the word and encourage others to think more deeply about how we all, well, think!
