Book Description
Revised and Updated with Information on 2 New Kinds of Smart
Based on psychologist Howard Gardner's pioneering theory of "multiple intelligences," the original edition of 7 Kinds of Smart identified seven distinct ways of being smart, including "word smart," "music smart," "logic smart," and "people smart." Now, with the addition of two new kinds of smart--"naturalist" and "existential"--7 Kinds of Smart offers even more interesting information about how the human psyche functions. Complete with checklists for determining one's strongest and weakest intelligences, exercises, practical tips for developing each type of smart, a revised bibliography for further reading, and a guide to related Internet sites, this book continues to be an essential resource, offering cutting-edge research for general consumption.
"At last, thanks to Thomas Armstrong, we have a book that introduces the theory of multiple intelligences to the general public. As an extra dividend, it helps people to discover and unleash their own intellectual strengths."--Howard Gardner, Ph.D., author of Frames of Mind

Great Book!,
By Zev Saftlas "Founder and Host of EmpoweringMe... (Brooklyn, NY United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Seven Kinds of Smart: Identifying and Developing Your Multiple Intelligences (Paperback)
I really like this book. As a life coach, I notice that many people are hiding their "smarts" It's such a shame. Even if you're not a musician by trade, you should express music smarts. You should take piano lessons or whatever. I always tell people to DO WHAT YOU LOVE. (Forget the money, it will come later.) You are given some talents that ONLY you have. Please don't let them go to waste. Utilize them. Don't wait until you're a hundred years old and look back in regret. Start doing what you love today! This book shows you how to recognize your smarts and provides you with tons of resources on how to find out more about your smarts. Highly recommended.Zev Saftlas, Author of Motivation That Works: How to Get Motivated and Stay Motivated

An excellent primer on Howard Gardner's theory,

This review is from: Seven Kinds of Smart: Identifying and Developing Your Multiple Intelligences (Paperback)
Thomas Armstrong's book make Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences very accessible to the general public. Each intelligence is very well defined. Especially fun are all the suggestions on how to develop these aspects of your own intelligence(s).Somehow the concept of 'multiple intelligences' developed by Howard Gardner has not been as successful as the one of 'emotional intelligence' developed by David Coleman. It is a shame because 'multiple intelligences' is a multiple as rich and useful as 'emotional intellingence.' Emotional intelligence is a really helpful concept. But, 'multiple intelligences' is even more so.

What They Don't Teach You At College,
By A Customer
This review is from: Seven Kinds of Smart: Identifying and Developing Your Many Intelligences (Paperback)
For people interested in learning more about multiple intelligences without the lengthy sentences and academic verbosity, this is a great book. Not only is it simple in its text, but it's also fun to read because of the exercises and tests included for each intelligence. You learn that in real life there is no one true way to label a "smart" person, and for the more unconventional and unusual among us this is good news! You can realize and apply your talents to everyday life, and try to develop the intelligences in which you are not as strong. So when you look at your old high school report cards or college transcripts and groan loudly in disgust, throw them in the trash and read this book
