“How our minds work, how we absorb and process information”

Bottleneck shows us nothing less than how our minds work, in terms of how we absorb and process information. I have read other titles on this subject, but this book explains it in a very accessible and readable way and I would highly recommend it. Despite working for many years in education, my ideas about how learning really happens were elusive creatures, glimpsed in a forest of observations and reflections. I had always suspected some deeper magic was going on in our brains, and here it is! But what I love most about Richard Epworth's approach is that he doesn't try to provide you with all the answers. Evidence yes, the scientific, technological and mathematical contexts, but most of all he asks great questions and makes me ask my own, and this, for me is the sign of a great author and thinker. A very stimulating and satisfying read. Five Stars  - 8 April 2014
