Angela Davis: I have received a copy of this book by Tom Vanderbilt. He argues that skill learning is like high-intensity interval training for your brain. His point is that you're never too old to learn and to maybe learn more than you think, she says. Angela: Is it true that adult brains are much less plastic than younger brains? And if so, what are the ramifications?
Also, what's better: to learn new skills or go deep on what you're good at?
