Visual Thinking: The Hidden Gifts of People Who Think in Pictures, Patterns, and Abstractions
Visual Thinking: The Hidden Gifts of People Who Think in Pictures, Patterns, and Abstractions | Temple Grandin
7 posts | 6 read | 8 to read
"A powerful and provocative testament to the diverse coalition of minds we'll need to face the mounting challenges of the twenty-first century." --Steve Silberman "An absolute eye-opener." --Frans de Waal A landmark book that reveals, celebrates, and advocates for the special minds and contributions of visual thinkers A quarter of a century after her memoir, Thinking in Pictures, forever changed how the world understood autism, Temple Grandin--the "anthropologist on Mars," as Oliver Sacks dubbed her--transforms our awareness of the different ways our brains are wired. Do you have a keen sense of direction, a love of puzzles, the ability to assemble furniture without crying? You are likely a visual thinker. With her genius for demystifying science, Grandin draws on cutting-edge research to take us inside visual thinking. Visual thinkers constitute a far greater proportion of the population than previously believed, she reveals, and a more varied one, from the photo-realistic object visualizers like Grandin herself, with their intuitive knack for design and problem solving, to the abstract, mathematically inclined "visual spatial" thinkers who excel in pattern recognition and systemic thinking. She also makes us understand how a world increasingly geared to the verbal tends to sideline visual thinkers, screening them out at school and passing over them in the workplace. Rather than continuing to waste their singular gifts, driving a collective loss in productivity and innovation, Grandin proposes new approaches to educating, parenting, employing, and collaborating with visual thinkers. In a highly competitive world, this important book helps us see, we need every mind on board.

November 30, 2023 So sorry to report that something had me gone for a month or so here on Litsy. Idk what happened to my account BUT i managed to email them and get it fixed... EVERYTHING IS A-OK! Anyway I finished this book last week and I thought it was a good book. I would recommend it to anyone who likes Temple Grandin or just wants to read the difference between a visual thinker & object thinker 😊

Mehso-so

A lot of good information packed into too few chapters -- 60-90 minutes each. While I appreciate the underdog perspective of someone who is a visual thinker and thus subject to a lot of bias and exclusion, the book reads too much like an us vs them where one is superior (visual thinking). Not sure that's the intent but that's how comes across. Anyway, as someone who trends visual over verbal, it's nice to have such in depth discourse on the topic.

Although I score high on the Visual Thinking test, I don‘t see myself that way. That‘s about all that interested me in this book. Her adoration for Evil Musk & Edison 🤢. She knows squat-all about public education, cherry picking research. Contradicting herself at multiple points… I wanted to love this b/c a friend does, but I did not. I will say her drafting is gorgeous, & the animal welfare parts make for good reading.

I first read Temple‘s research in vet school, and she has a singularly interesting perspective. I‘m so excited that @RiverheadBooks sent me an ARC of her new book the different ways visually-oriented people think. I can never decide if I‘m more auditory or visual, so I‘m excited to read this! Out October 11.
