How to Think and Choose. A Visual Guide for the Mind

Having received a mind and its abilities at birth, we rarely think about how it works. There are no instructions for it, and there is no subject in school on how to use it. Yet your mind is the most valuable tool you possess. The thinking processes that occur within it allow you to perceive reality, analyze information, make decisions, and take action.
 
You can imagine the mind as a black box: information enters it, is processed and transformed within, and the output is a result - a decision.
 
In this book, we explore each of the stages:
 
• The principles of how the black box works: thinking, its types (critical, systemic, analytical, etc.), super abilities, traps, and mental models.
 
• How to manage incoming information: receive what you need, not drown in the ocean of information, but set up a useful flow.
 
• How to create a result: how to tune your thinking for optimal decision-making and what kinds of decisions exist.
 
The operation of this black box is a peculiar cycle that repeats over and over: information - thinking - decision. Understanding it and learning to manage it is one of the most important skills of the digital age.
 
Do you need such a skill? You decide!
 
This book contains little text, but a lot of meaning.
 
It speaks of serious matters, but in an interesting and engaging way. It includes many illustrations that will help you remember better what you read. There are also reflection questions and a section 'What's Next?' where we collected interesting books and videos so you have the opportunity to delve deeper into the topic.
