The Practicing Mind

Author: Thomas M. Sterner
New World Library: 2012

While this book is a self-help title and thoroughly unscientific in its approach to the topic of cognition, the author's approach to managing the cognitive functions to focus on the process of achieving a goal, rather than on the goal itself, seem worthwhile to consider, particularly in designing user experiences.
