Mindware: Tools for Smart Thinking

Thinking harder is about to become a whole lot easier. World-renowned psychologist Richard Nisbett draws on decades of research to offer a ‘mental toolkit’ for making better decisions in everyday life. These tools have been developed by great thinkers over the centuries - and now they can help you.

Many scientific and philosophical ideas are so powerful that they can be applied to our lives to help us think smarter and more effectively about our behaviour and the world around us. Surprisingly, many of these ideas remain unknown to most of us. Drawing on his own groundbreaking research, Richard Nisbett presents these ideas in clear and accessible detail to offer a tool kit for better thinking and wiser decisions. Mindware shows how to reframe common problems - whether professional, business, or personal - in such a way that these powerful scientific and statistical concepts can be applied to them.
