Description
'One of our finest thinkers on technology' - Jamie Bartlett, author of How to Talk to AI
Discover the key to clear thinking in the age of AI
In a world of alt facts, imperfect algorithms and information overload, thinking clearly has never been more crucial. But it's not easy. It asks us to slow down and reflect; to question assumptions; to be aware of blind spots. It takes practice - and the will to resist a whole host of distractions.
How to Think Clearly is a practical primer that will help you:
- develop the core habits that underpin critical thinking
- master techniques like powerful pauses and killer questions
- be data smart and tech savvy
- turn these skills into daily practice, making you think twice - and think better
