Top 5 Blogs That Explain How We Think...


Harmony over at Writer in the Making gave this My Year of Getting Published a ‘Thinking Blogger Award’. Wow - my blog is an ‘award winning blog’. I’m honoured.

This got me thinking about the blogs that make me think. Not just the ones that ones that entertain me and encourage my writing endeavours. But the blogs that explain the thinking process.

And at the same time, I discovered that Problogger was running a 'Top 5 Group Writing Project’ where you post about your Top 5 of whatever you choose.

So I decided to post on ‘Top 5 Blogs That Explain How We Think’.

Smartkit Website - this blog is like a gymnasium for the brain, full of brain teasers, brain art, and brain research. (favorite post so far: What sleep research can teach us about unlocking learning potential: Crucial Student Study Skills)

Pick the Brain - this site aims to inspire through through reflection and self-education, offering insightful and interesting posts. (Favorite post so far: Brainstorming ways to get attention)

Brain Based Business - focusing on brain research and how the brain works, especially in business and the work place, Dr Ellen Weber provides interesting, educational and informative posts on how to get the most out of your brain. And it’s all written in easy to read and understand manner. (Favorite post so far: (25 Quick Brain Facts to Rate Your Workplce Intelligence).

Lifehack.org - a blog that focuses on ways to organize and increase productivity in your life and in your business. Helps you think outside the square. (Favorite post so far: Simple Productivity: 10 Ways to Do More by Focusing on the Essentials)

Mind Hacks - find out what’s going on inside your brain by learning about recent research in neuroscience and psychology. (Favorite post so far: the weekly ‘Spike Activity’ post that provides quick links from the past week in mind and brain news)

Anyone else have one to add???

It was fun to discover blogs here that I also admire and to share in the reasons you'll likely be published more than you'll expect even.

Hi r.l., love your blog...the brain teasers too much for my weary (and sometimes fried) brain but I love a challenge.

This list will save me a lot of time as the theme is extremely attractive. I have already taken a look into a few articles of the sites quoted, and would say it is enlivening and wise.
