Open to Think

Más información sobre el libro

Citing the title of Robert Frost's poem "The Road Not Taken" as an example of something people think they know but often get wrong, consultant Dan Pontefract offers a strategy for thinking more clearly and making better decisions. As he explains how his "dream, decide, do" system works, he provides real-life examples of "open thinkers" whose accomplishments stem from their deliberative cognitive practices. People tend to rush to conclusions, accept misinformation, skip nuance or trust shallow assumptions. Instead, Pontefract says, pause to ponder. The effectiveness of your thought process depends on how well you sort evidence, reflect upon it and challenge your conclusions. getAbstract recommends Pontefract's manual to those who'd like to make better decisions or gain useful insight into their own thought processes.
