You’re Smarter Than You Think: A Kid’s Guide to Multiple Intelligences (Revised and Updated Edition)

Written by Dr. Thomas Armstrong, an award-winning expert on the topic of Howard Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligences, this book introduces the theory, explains the different types of intelligences (like Word Smart, Self Smart, Body Smart), and helps kids identify their own learning strengths and use their special skills at school, at home, and in life. As kids read the book, they stop asking “How smart am I?” and start asking “How am I smart?” Resources describe related books, software, games, and organizations. This revised and updated edition includes information on a newly researched ninth intelligence, Life Smart—thinking about and asking questions about life, the universe, and spirituality.
