The author of 25 books translated into 28 languages, and several hundred articles, Gardner is best known in educational circles for his theory of multiple intelligences, a critique of the notion that there exists but a single human intelligence that can be adequately assessed by standard psychometric instruments.During the past two decades, Gardner and colleagues at Project Zero have been involved in the design of performance-based assessments; education for understanding; the use of multiple intelligences to achieve more personalized curriculum, instruction, and pedagogy; and the quality of interdisciplinary efforts in education. Since the middle 1990s, in collaboration with psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi and William Damon, Gardner has directed the GoodWork Project-- a study of work that is excellent, engaging, and ethical. More recently, with long time Project Zero colleagues Lynn Barendsen and Wendy Fischman, he has conducted reflection sessions designed to enhance the understanding and incidence of good work among young people. With Carrie James and other colleagues at Project Zero, he is also investigating the nature of trust in contemporary society and ethical dimensions entailed in the use of the new digital media. Among new research undertakings are a study of effective collaboration among non-profit institutions in education and a study of conceptions of quality, nationally and internationally, in the contemporary era. In 2008 he delivered a set of three lectures at New York's Museum of Modern Art on the topic "The True, The Beautiful, and The Good: econsiderations in a post-modern, digital era."from http://www.howardgardner.com/bio/bio....

Thinking, Fast and Slow is a compelling look at the inner-workings of human decision-making.  Nobel Prize laureate Daniel Kahneman’s bestselling book dives into how the mechanisms of our mind can lead us astray by triggering a series of internal biases—he shows why we’re fooled time and time again.  Kahneman reveals when we can and cannot trust our intuitions.  We can all learn to think with greater clarity and objectivity if we follow his advice.  In the book’s final chapters, he surveys the future of artificial intelligence, which he predicts will improve exponentially in coming years.  It’s an especially interesting point for marketers to consider as businesses integrate more automation into their day-to-day operations.
