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

Having a mind and its abilities from birth, we rarely think about how it works. No instructions are provided, 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 comes in, it's processed and transformed within, and the result—decision—comes out.
 
In this book, we examine each of the stages:
 
• Principles of the black box: thinking, its types (critical, systemic, analytical, etc.), super abilities, traps, and mental models.
 
• How to manage incoming information: receiving what you need, not drowning in the ocean of information, but structuring a useful flow.
 
• How to create a result: how to set your thinking for optimal decision-making and what kinds of decisions exist in principle.
 
The functioning of this black box is a kind of cycle that repeats over and over: information—thinking—decision. Understanding it and being able to manage it is one of the most important skills of the digital age.
 
Do you need such a skill? You decide!
