Howard Gardner’s brilliant conception of individual competence has changed the face of education in the twenty-three years since the publication of his classic work, Frames of Mind. Since then thousands of educators, parents, and researchers have explored the practical implications and applications of Multiple Intelligences theory- the powerful notion that there are separate human capacities, ranging from musical intelligence to the intelligence involved in self-understanding.

What They're Saying
Critics Review
“A good introduction, along with Gardner’s Frames of Mind (1983), to the theory of multiple intelligences.”–Kirkus
“For those of us who suspect that intelligence is too complex a phenomenon to be measured by the single number of I.Q. derived from an ‘intelligence test, ’ Gardner’s book is a refreshing experience and an open door into a whole new way of looking at human beings.”–Isaac Asimov
“Were we to apply even a fraction of the knowledge Gardner marshals for us, education might finally lead to the deeper understanding that should be its primary goal.”–Rexford Brown, educator
“Whenever Howard Gardner focuses his synthesizing mind and vast erudition on any topic, we can be sure that an exciting intellectual adventure is in store. If his manifesto were heeded, the future of our children would benefit immensely.”–Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, author of Flow
