Book excerpt: “An INVALUABLE RESOURCE to anyone who wants to think better.” —Gretchen Rubin Award-winning YALE PROFESSOR Woo-kyoung Ahn delivers “A MUST-READ—a smart and compellingly readable guide to cutting-edge research into how people think.” (Paul Bloom) “A FUN exploration.” —Dax Shepard Psychologist Woo-kyoung Ahn devised a course at Yale called “Thinking” to help students examine the biases that cause so many problems in their daily lives. It quickly became one of the university’s most popular courses. Now, for the first time, Ahn presents key insights from her years of teaching and research in a book for everyone. She shows how “thinking problems” stand behind a wide range of challenges, from common, self-inflicted daily aggravations to our most pressing societal issues and inequities. Throughout, Ahn draws on decades of research from other cognitive psychologists, as well as from her own groundbreaking studies. And she presents it all in a compellingly readable style that uses fun examples from pop culture, anecdotes from her own life, and illuminating stories from history and the headlines. Thinking 101 is a book that goes far beyond other books on thinking, showing how we can improve not just our own daily lives through better awareness of our biases but also the lives of everyone around us. It is, quite simply, required reading for everyone who wants to think—and live—better.

Book excerpt: The fun and simple problem-solving guide that took Japan by storm Ken Watanabe originally wrote Problem Solving 101 for Japanese schoolchildren. His goal was to help shift the focus in Japanese education from memorization to critical thinking, by adapting some of the techniques he had learned as an elite McKinsey consultant. He was amazed to discover that adults were hungry for his fun and easy guide to problem solving and decision making. The book became a surprise Japanese bestseller, with more than 370,000 in print after six months. Now American businesspeople can also use it to master some powerful skills. Watanabe uses sample scenarios to illustrate his techniques, which include logic trees and matrixes. A rock band figures out how to drive up concert attendance. An aspiring animator budgets for a new computer purchase. Students decide which high school they will attend. Illustrated with diagrams and quirky drawings, the book is simple enough for a middleschooler to understand but sophisticated enough for business leaders to apply to their most challenging problems.

Book excerpt: Thinking is a blueprint for life experiences. The quality of one's thinking to a large degree determines the quality of one's life. It is not possible to improve life without making improvements in thinking, and it is not possible to improve thinking without understanding the nature of the thinking process. Thinking 101 provides a unique insight into the nature of the invisible process of thinking by offering visible models that simplify and facilitate observation and understanding of the activity of the mind that influences all aspects of human existence. Thinking 101 addresses the"mechanics" of thinking process when individual is alone or involved in the interaction with others, and suggests simple steps that lead to dramatic improvement in its quality. This inevitably leads to positive changes in life. The brevity of this insightful and easy to read text assures its maximum impact. Years of research, study, experimentation, and testing of various conclusions have resulted with a condensed summary that is "Thinking 101." Reading it will save years of work an un-aided individual would put into research and study of (or into sorting through an immense amount of existing literature on) this complex subject matter. Thinking 101 is a gift that will keep on giving for years after it has been read.

Book excerpt: We began learning through experience, by finger-painting and imagination. We then transitioned to conformity, coloring within the lines, and believing in results- that what is evidenced is what can be accomplished. Thinking is a basic function of life. The way we think, including rationale behind our thinking is what separates us from animals, yet there are primal instincts that influence the thinking of both and influence our potential. Proverbs states that "So a man thinks, so is he." Ghandi said, "A man is but a product of his thoughts, what he thinks he becomes. If thinking is so important to our existence and success, why is how to think (not what to think) not included in the core curriculum throughout our schooling, from early on? Here lies the basis for Thinking 101: Fundamentals of a Successful Mindset.Get ready to get out of auto-pilot and into the driver's seat of your successful life.Introducing a new philosophy on success psychology that will revolutionize how you approach life. Who says you can't achieve your dreams? What happened to dreaming being okay? Where and when did the shift away from imagination occur? What is reality? Our mindset holds the key. Thinking 101: Fundamentals of a Successful Mindset helps us to learn what we should have learned...how to think....not what to think.Thinking 101 will enable you to tap into the successful mindset you already have. Come back to the basics of dreaming like you did when you were a kid. Come back to your Successful Mindset

Book excerpt: Life is full of challenges. There are times when you will feel like you've done everything to the best of your ability, but in the end, it still didn't work. Have you ever wondered why? Was it because life is unfair, or was it because you were actually "expecting the worst"? Have you considered expecting the best instead? You may think, "Of course, I considered great things to happen!," but science says otherwise. People who are preparing for something are found to be thinking more of the bad things that could happen than the positive outcomes. More often than not, thinking about unfortunate events actually make it happen. Hoping that you will not be late for a meeting will cause you to be late. Thinking of saying a complex sentence inappropriately actually makes you tongue-tied. Do you know why? It is because your thoughts have the power to change things and events. In this book, you will learn how to master positive thinking by learning about the power of thought and the Law of Attraction. With these core principles, this book will teach you ways on how to think positively by hacking your body, your speech, and your actions. You will know about scientific studies that proved the benefits of positive thinking. You will also be introduced to the successful life teachers who used positivity to become successful. Finally, you will be provided with step-by-step guides on how you can do it yourself. You are on your way to becoming a positive person who will enjoy living a good life by spreading the positive vibrations to the world! After downloading this book you will learn...
