The Extended Mind

According to science writer Annie Murphy Paul, we think better when our brain is provided with extra-neural resources: Our body, our environment, and the people that are around us.

The brain is not something that one has to isolate in order to think hard, as it is not central to thinking just by itself. Example: We think far more clearly after spending the entire day trekking through the forest, rather than sitting on suffocating Zoom meetings all day.
