Frames of Mind

Framework of Multiple Intelligences is the book that has revolutionized our understanding of human intelligence which was published by Howard Gardner in 1983. This work provides new knowledge about how children learn and how to educate them. Additionally, the author explains how his theory can be used in the practice of education. The author managed to break down this complex theory into eight "intelligences" which are verbal-, logical-, numerical-, musical-, bodily-kinaesthetic-, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalistic intelligences. Intrapersonal intelligence is the ability to control one's own emotions, and interpessonal intelligence refers to our ability to understand other people's moods, feelings, and motivations.
