Book excerpt: “An INVALUABLE RESOURCE to anyone who wants to think better.” —Gretchen Rubin Award-winning YALE PROFESSOR Woo-kyoung Ahn delivers “A MUST-READ—a smart and compellingly readable guide to cutting-edge research into how people think.” (Paul Bloom) “A FUN exploration.” —Dax Shepard Psychologist Woo-kyoung Ahn devised a course at Yale called “Thinking” to help students examine the biases that cause so many problems in their daily lives. It quickly became one of the university’s most popular courses. Now, for the first time, Ahn presents key insights from her years of teaching and research in a book for everyone. She shows how “thinking problems” stand behind a wide range of challenges, from common, self-inflicted daily aggravations to our most pressing societal issues and inequities. Throughout, Ahn draws on decades of research from other cognitive psychologists, as well as from her own groundbreaking studies. And she presents it all in a compellingly readable style that uses fun examples from pop culture, anecdotes from her own life, and illuminating stories from history and the headlines. Thinking 101 is a book that goes far beyond other books on thinking, showing how we can improve not just our own daily lives through better awareness of our biases but also the lives of everyone around us. It is, quite simply, required reading for everyone who wants to think—and live—better.

The quality of one's thinking to a large degree determines the quality of one's life. It is not possible to improve life without making improvements in thinking, and it is not possible to improve thinking without understanding the nature of the thinking process. Thinking 101 provides a unique insight into the nature of the invisible process of thinking by offering visible models that simplify and facilitate observation and understanding of the activity of the mind that influences all aspects of human existence. Thinking 101 addresses the"mechanics" of thinking process when individual is alone or involved in the interaction with others, and suggests simple steps that lead to dramatic improvement in its quality. This inevitably leads to positive changes in life. The brevity of this insightful and easy to read text assures its maximum impact. Years of research, study, experimentation, and testing of various conclusions have resulted with a condensed summary that is "Thinking 101." Reading it will save years of work an un-aided individual would put into research and study of (or into sorting through an immense amount of existing literature on) this complex subject matter. Thinking 101 is a gift that will keep on giving for years after it has been read.

Book Synopsis Problem Solving 101 by : Ken Watanabe

Download or read book Problem Solving 101 written by Ken Watanabe. This book was released on 2009-03-05. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fun and simple problem-solving guide that took Japan by storm Ken Watanabe originally wrote Problem Solving 101 for Japanese schoolchildren. His goal was to help shift the focus in Japanese education from memorization to critical thinking, by adapting some of the techniques he had learned as an elite McKinsey consultant. He was amazed to discover that adults were hungry for his fun and easy guide to problem solving and decision making. The book became a surprise Japanese bestseller, with more than 370,000 in print after six months. Now American businesspeople can also use it to master some powerful skills. Watanabe uses sample scenarios to illustrate his techniques, which include logic trees and matrixes. A rock band figures out how to drive up concert attendance. An aspiring animator budgets for a new computer purchase. Students decide which high school they will attend. Illustrated with diagrams and quirky drawings, the book is simple enough for a middleschooler to understand but sophisticated enough for business leaders to apply to their most challenging problems.
