This notion follows us into adulthood, where we tend to dimply accept these established beliefs about our skillsets (e.g., that we don't have \"a math brain\" or that we aren't \"the creative type\"). These false assumptions have influenced all of us at some time, affecting out confidence and willingness to try new things and limiting our choices, and, ultimately, our futures. \u003ci\u003eLimitless Mind\u003c\/i\u003e explodes these myths,sharing new findings from neuroscience that affect how we live as well as how we learn and featuring practical insights and transformational stories that show the ways we can all become limitless—and learn, lead, and live without barriers.","brand":"HarperOne","offers":[{"title":"Bargain","offer_id":42820456742992,"sku":"9780062851758B","price":10.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/8173\/5760\/files\/9780062851758-l.jpg?v=1785879824"},{"product_id":"neurotribes-the-legacy-of-autism-and-the-future-of-neurodive-9780399185618b","title":"Neurotribes: The Legacy of Autism and the Future of Neurodiversity","description":"\u003cb\u003eThis \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e-bestselling book upends conventional thinking about autism and suggests a broader model for acceptance, understanding, and full participation in society for people who think differently.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e What is autism? A lifelong disability, or a naturally occurring form of cognitive difference akin to certain forms of genius?

Going back to the earliest days of autism research, Silberman offers a gripping narrative of Leo Kanner and Hans Asperger, the research pioneers who defined the scope of autism in profoundly different ways; he then goes on to explore the game-changing concept of neurodiversity. \u003ci\u003eNeuroTribes\u003c\/i\u003e considers the idea that neurological differences such as autism, dyslexia, and ADHD are not errors of nature or products of the toxic modern world, but the result of natural variations in the human genome.
