Description
'Will change how you see the world' Derren Brown
Radical Thinking is a book about how you view the world. It's about the things that shape your thoughts, from what you notice and how you interpret it, to what you assume, believe and want. It's also about how, if you think in a radical way, you can look beyond your limited view of the world to see the bigger picture.

'A deliciously original guide to the things that quietly shape our thoughts. Witty, wise and wonderfully observed, this is a book for curious people, which will change how you see the world' - Derren Brown 'Lamont takes a walk across Edinburgh and a stroll through our mind. In one fascinating adventure after another, he connects the past to the present, vividly illustrates the need to see the bigger picture, and offers us a terrific roadmap for clear thinking' - Professor Richard Wiseman 'A companionable, practical, humane and deeply well-informed manual for the changing of your mind, one act of curiosity at a time. This is a delighted and delightful read - and a genuinely radical answer to the challenges of our fractured times' - A.L. KennedyMore details
