How a New Understanding of the Brain Will Lead to the Creation of Truly Intelligent Machines
Jeff Hawkins
Sandra Blakeslee
In 'On Intelligence,' Jeff Hawkins, with the help of Sandra Blakeslee, outlines his memory-prediction framework theory of the brain. This theory posits that the brain is a hierarchical, predictive system that uses memory to make continuous predictions about future events. Hawkins argues that current approaches to artificial intelligence are flawed because they do not understand the fundamental principles of how the brain works. He explains how the neocortex, the seat of intelligence, operates through a hierarchical structure, making predictions based on associative memory. The book discusses the implications of this theory for neuroscience, the development of intelligent machines, and our understanding of human behavior and cognition.

A book about time management and how to live a more fulfilling life.
In addition to describing her GTD journey and the tools she uses, Jung has much to share about knowledge work, and the allocation of resources--and how GTD practitioners can evolve with the times as valuable contributors. We start with the skill of knowing what to do, to the skill of organizing the data and resources. But the more seasoned we become, wisdom joins skill--in application. That is, we can allocate resources in a way that is functional and applicable.
