Summary
Sunday Times top ten bestselling author of The Science of Fate, neuroscientist Hannah Critchlow, brilliantly illuminates the new science of collective intelligence, showing how it can work to improve our lives and help solve the huge global challenges confronting us.
At a time of existential global challenges we need our best brainpower to solve them.
We can no longer rely on the myth of the lone genius to create a breakthrough.
As neuroscientist and bestselling author of The Science of Fate Hannah Critchlow shows, two heads have always been better than one. Almost everything we've ever achieved has been done by groups of people working together, sometimes across time and space. Like a hive of bees, or a flock of birds, our naturally social, interconnected brains are designed to function best collectively.
New technology is helping us share our wisdom and knowledge much more diversely across race, class, gender and borders. And AI is sparking a revolution in our approach to intelligent thinking—linking us into fast-working brainnets for problem solving.
Hannah Critchlow brings us an enlightening, invaluable guide to our future through the evolving new science of collective intelligence. She reveals what it says about us as human beings, shares compelling examples and stories, and shows us how best we can work collectively at work, in families, in any team situation to improve our outcomes, our wellbeing and our prospects.

Full of nuggets and insight
Accessible exploration of neuroscience and human relationships. I gained new insight into aboriginal art, learned about new forms of intelligence such as transactive intelligence and fluid intelligence vs. crystalline intelligence. Brilliance from start to finish even the epilogue made me think

A better read
It is unfortunate that the author decided to be the narrator. Her voice can be annoying, not for the prosody but for her urge to persuade the reader, instead of letting the reader judge herself. It gets better in the second half but it can be a struggle getting there. I would recommend buying the book instead of the audio, also because her work turns out to be original, well-structured and relevant. Towards the end the author looses focus, discussing topics which stray too far away from the topic.

Just wonderful, don't miss it!
I totally loved this book. Hannah brings together fascinating research across a broad spectrum of neuroscience in an accessible format that is as inspiring as it is, to the layman, amazing. The topic could not be more important, how will we capitalise on the power of our individual minds to solve the existential threats facing humanity? The answer lies in how effectively we can connect, share and collaborate. From copying and pasting thoughs to music made of kisses to modifying DNA with experiences, this book is packed with contemporary insights and glimpses into our future.
Made all the better on Audible by Hannah's personal and engaging delivery, Joined Up Thinking is a fantastic journey through our cognitive connections. Enjoy!
