Recent neurobiological discoveries have challenged long-held assumptions that logical, rational thought is the preeminent approach to knowing. Rather, feelings and emotions are essential for meaningful learning to occur in the embodied brain. Using stories, metaphors, and engaging illustrations to illuminate technical ideas, Taylor and Marienau synthesize relevant trends in neuroscience, cognitive science, and philosophy of mind. Readers unfamiliar with current brain discoveries will enjoy an informative, easy-to-read book. Neuroscience fans will find additional material designed to supplement their knowledge.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMany popular publications on brain and learning focus on school-aged learners or tend more toward anatomical description than practical application. This book provides facilitators of adult learning and development a much-needed resource of tested approaches plus the science behind their effectiveness.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eAppreciate the fundamental role of experience in adult learning\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUnderstand how metaphor and analogy spark curiosity and creativity\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAlleviate adult anxieties that impede learning\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAcquire tools and approaches that foster adult learning and development\u003c/li\u003e \u003c/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eCompared with other books on brain and learning, this volume includes dozens of specific examples of how experienced practitioners facilitate meaningful learning. These \"brain-aware\" approaches can be adopted and adapted for use in diverse settings. \u003ci\u003eFacilitating Learning with the Adult Brain in Mind\u003c/i\u003e should be read by advisors/counselors, instructors, curriculum and instructional developers, professional development designers, corporate trainers and coaches, faculty mentors, and graduate students--in fact, anyone interested in how adult brains learn.\u003c/p\u003e
