I've had this book for longer than I can remember in the hope that one day I would manage to get beyond the first couple of chapters! The book is full of practical exercises designed to test the extent to which we have all developed the 10 specific intelligences outlined, including creative, personal, social, spiritual, along with the more widely understood numerical, spatial and verbal intelligences. The others are physical, sexual and sensual. I'm all for gaining a little more self-knowledge, so maybe I'll have another quick flick through tonight before it goes wild!

RELEASE NOTES:

Julian Baggini, editor of 'The Philosophers Magazine' is giving a lecture entitled 'Thought Experiments' at the Ways With Words festival, Dartington (hopefully a fitting link to a book called 'Head First'!), so I'll look out for somewhere sheltered bench nearby where I can leave it.
