As a first-generation kid growing up in the middle-class suburbs of LA in the 80s, Rina Bliss, like everyone else, believed that mental capacity is etched into our DNA. Yet, once Rina looked closer, first as a student, then scientist, and then as a mom of identical twins (who share a genome), this idea of innate intelligence slowly began to crumble. Intelligence, suggests Dr. Bliss, has little to do with standardized test results or other conventional measures of intellect. Instead, intelligence is a process, a journey defined by change. Dr. Bliss draws from cutting-edge neuroscience to explain that we are all born intelligent and capable of living to our greatest potential. Rethinking Intelligence is a book that gives readers a new perspective to understand themselves and their loved ones as well as the practical tools to thrive.
