THE ART OF THINKING CLEARLY: BETTER THINKING, BETTER DECISIONS [Hardcover] Dobelli, Rolf

Very thought provoking and communicated in a simple and easy to understand way!

I liked this book as it presents errors in our thinking patterns with clear examples. We repeat many thinking patterns in our life without understanding why -- the boom helps us grasp what they are and how to be aware of them.

Un livre qui vaut le coup de lire! De tres bons exemples, expliqués clairement et simplement! J'ai adoré. Ce livre est à garder de coté et y revenir en cas de besoin.Et si on a envie de pousser/chercher plus loin l'auteur site pas mal les protagonistes desquels les theories viennent.A lire.

Si estas buscando un libro para motivarte, definitivamente este no lo es. Aporta una visión diferente de las cosas de una manera directa y cruda en ocasiones, sin embargo, bastante realistas poniendo en duda muchas de las cosas que pensamos que están bien y que, con argumentos serios, desafía dichas posturas ante diferentes situaciones. Aborda temas sociales, de creencias, políticos, personales y de introspectiva. Le pongo 5 estrellas porque considero que el autor ha hecho un trabajo muy bueno y lo ha organizado de una manera bastante lógica y clara para el lector.

`The art of thinking clearly' by Rolf Dobelli took 10 days to arrive. It is hardback, but thick paperback sized (326 pages), made up of 99 Chapters each of two to three pages.Originally the text was written as a series short magazine articles, so this is in effect a bound collection all in one place.Rolf tackles the many ways in which thinking errors can occur (what we think is going on, and what is actually going on, can and often is very different). In a sense this is quite profound, we all run around with models of how the world works (and interconnects), and these models provide a handy short cut to quick decisions rather than thinking things through from scratch every time. Rolf clearly and logically and with examples shows us how and why these models are in error (the links are incorrectly connected) and while there might be good material going in, the wrong model all but guarantees the wrong material out.As humans we are programmed for the here and now, long and very short time scales are difficult for us to grasp, big numbers are just big numbers etc. Rolf tackles psychological perception and how we can be confident and sure about something, yet we have mislead ourselves or been mislead by others, but our confidence means the alarm has not sounded. These sorts of thinking errors have been well researched by psychologists, but largely buried in academic journals and tomes. Rolf brings them out, makes them live and contemporary, and with examples shows, actually, anyone with a working brain needs to beware.So this is less a book about `The art of thinking clearly' and more a book about `I think, therefore I err', and is no less valuable for that, just don't expect methods, plans and exercises for thinking clearly.Finally, perhaps a perfect book for the modern age, we move too fast for our own good, a book which in very short hops takes you on a (thoughtful) journey, easy to pick up grab a page or two, put down to await the next `reading bite' opportunity. Take it from start to finish, or dip in an out, it makes no difference, each Chapter is stand alone. For me at least, £7 very well spent.
