MAKING UP YOUR OWN MIND

You can become better at solving real-world problems by learning creative puzzle-solving skills. In this enlightening, entertaining, and inspiring book, Edward Burger shows us simple, effective thinking techniques including how to ask good questions, fail and try again, and change your mind, and then helps you practice them with fun verbal and visual puzzles. It reframes how we define education and how we get more out of it, practical mindful lessons, how you create your future by first creating yourself, and discover new perspectives by effective thinking. The goal is not to quickly solve each challenge but to come up with as many different ways of thinking about it as possible. As you see the puzzles in ever-greater depth, your mind will change, helping you become a more imaginative and creative thinker in daily life. And learning how to be a better thinker pays off in incalculable ways for anyone - including students, businesspeople, professionals, athletes, artists, leaders, and lifelong learners. And the puzzles extend to the thought-provoking format of the book itself because one of the later short chapters is printed upside down while another is printed in mirror image, further challenging the reader to see the world through different perspectives and make new meaning. 11.94 x 19.56cm.
