The Power of Ignorance - Dave Trott
â œThe wise man knows he doesnâ ™t know.The fool doesnâ ™t know he doesnâ ™t know.â Lao Tzuâ œIn the West they only respect experts.But the expert mind is the closed mind.â Shunryu SuzukiWhatâ ™s the most important step in fixing a puncture?It isnâ ™t jacking up the car, or taking the wheel off, or finding the puncture.Thereâ ™s something more fundamental than any of those.Something without which you canâ ™t even begin to fix a puncture. The most important step is finding out youâ ™ve got a puncture. Without that you canâ ™t do anything.Instead of saying, â œItâ ™s just a bit bumpy, must be the road,â and carrying on, you must acknowledge that something has changed and you donâ ™t know what that is.If you donâ ™t admit you donâ ™t know whatâ ™s happening, you can never find out.If you donâ ™t find out, you can never change it.The most important step, always, is admitting you donâ ™t know.Thatâ ™s the power of ignorance.In this latest collection of real-life stories, Dave Trott provides lessons about problem solving and creative thinking that can be applied in advertising, business, and the wider world. With his trademark wit, wisdom and critical eye, he shows how great problem solvers and creative thinkers are those who are not afraid to say â œI donâ ™t know.â

Teaching Creative Thinking - Bill Lucas, Ellen Spencer
Teaching Creative Thinking: Developing Learners Who Generate Ideas and Can Think Critically defines and demystifies the essence of creative thinking, and offers action-oriented and research-informed suggestions as to how it can best be developed in learners. Where once it was enough to know and do things, young people now need more than subject knowledge in order to thrive: they need capabilities. Teaching Creative Thinking is the first title in the three-part Pedagogy for a Changing World series, founded upon Lucas and Spencer s philosophy of dispositional teaching a pedagogical approach which aims to cultivate in learners certain dispositions that evidence suggests are going to be valuable to them both at school and in later life. A key capability is creative thinking, and, in 2021, one of the guardians of global comparative standards, PISA, is recognising its importance by making creative thinking the innovative assessment domain to supplement their testing of 15-year-olds core capabilities in English, maths and science. Creative thinkers are inquisitive, collaborative, imaginative, persistent and disciplined and schools which foster these habits of mind in learners need to be creative in engaging children and young people by embedding creativity into their everyday educational experiences. In this extensive enquiry into the nature and nurture of creative thinking, the authors explore the effectiveness of various pedagogical approaches including problem-based learning, growth mindset, playful experimentation and the classroom as a learning community and provide a wealth of tried-and-tested classroom strategies that will boost learners critical and creative thinking skills. The book is structured in an easy-to-access format, combining a comprehensive listing of practical ideas to stimulate lesson planning with expert guidance on integrating them into your practice, followed by plenty of inventive suggestions as to how learners progress can be assessed and tracked along the way by both the pupil and the teacher. The authors then go further to offer exemplars of success by presenting case studies of schools innovations in adopting these approaches, and dedicate a chapter to dispelling any pressing doubts that teachers may have by exposing the potential pitfalls and offering advice on how to avoid them. Venturing beyond the classroom setting, Teaching Creative Thinking also delves into the ways in which a school can work towards the provision of co-curricular experiences such as partnering with a range of external community groups and better engage its leadership team and pupils parents with the idea of creative thinking in order to support learners with opportunities to grow. The authors offer many examples which will inspire schools to do just this, and collate these ideas into building a framework for learning that equips young people in schools today with the twenty-first century skills and capabilities that will enable them to thrive in the workforce of tomorrow. Replete with research-led insight and ready-to-use strategies, Teaching Creative Thinking is a powerful call to action and a practical handbook for all teachers and leaders, in both primary and secondary settings, who want to embed a capabilities approach in their schools.

The Six Disciplines of Strategic Thinking - Watkins Michael
How did John F. Kennedy put a man on the moon in just under ten years?What can chess teach us about actionable insights?And why should you shake up a business at a time of great success?All of these questions have their answer in strategic thinking. But what is strategic thinking exactly? Are we born with it, or can we nurture it?As a distinct and important capability in leaders, strategic thinking is a remarkably poorly defined, little understood concept, confined to management courses and board meetings. But in The Six Disciplines of Strategic Thinking, world-renowned expert Michael Watkins shows leaders how they can benefit from it, as long as they have the tools to nurture it.Exploring the six specific mental disciplines that together constitute strategic thinking, each chapter shows how they can create value, and offers prescriptions on how to develop the strategic thinking mindset ourselves. Academically grounded but jargon-free, with real-world examples from all sectors and ages, The Six Disciplines of Strategic Thinking assesses our innate ability to think strategically, and helps us to cultivate it, leading to better decisions that get proven results.

Art of Thinking Clearly - Rolf Dobelli
A world-class thinker counts the 100 ways in which humans behave irrationally, showing us what we can do to recognize and minimize these “thinking errors” to make better decisions and have a better life Despite the best of intentions, humans are notoriously bad—that is, irrational—when it comes to making decisions and assessing risks and tradeoffs. Psychologists and neuroscientists refer to these distinctly human foibles, biases, and thinking traps as “cognitive errors.” Cognitive errors are systematic deviances from rationality, from optimized, logical, rational thinking and behavior. We make these errors all the time, in all sorts of situations, for problems big and small: whether to choose the apple or the cupcake; whether to keep retirement funds in the stock market when the Dow tanks, or whether to take the advice of a friend over a stranger. The “behavioral turn” in neuroscience and economics in the past twenty years has increased our understanding of how we think and how we make decisions. It shows how systematic errors mar our thinking and under which conditions our thought processes work best and worst. Evolutionary psychology delivers convincing theories about why our thinking is, in fact, marred. The neurosciences can pinpoint with increasing precision what exactly happens when we think clearly and when we don’t.Drawing on this wide body of research, The Art of Thinking Clearly is an entertaining presentation of these known systematic thinking errors--offering guidance and insight into everything why you shouldn’t accept a free drink to why you SHOULD walk out of a movie you don’t like it to why it’s so hard to predict the future to why shouldn’t watch the news. The book is organized into 100 short chapters, each covering a single cognitive error, bias, or heuristic. Examples of these concepts include: Reciprocity, Confirmation Bias, The It-Gets-Better-Before-It-Gets-Worse Trap, and the Man-With-A-Hammer Tendency. In engaging prose and with real-world examples and anecdotes, The Art of Thinking Clearly helps solve the puzzle of human reasoning.

This book takes you through a step-by-step approach that you can use to transform your classroom from a space where students mimic to a space where students think. But how do these practices work in a classroom with social distancing or in settings that are not always face-to-face?  The follow-up supplement, Modifying Your Thinking Classroom for Different Settings, will answer those questions, and more.

But often their solutions fall far short of what they want to accomplish and what is truly needed. Moreover, the answers they propose and fund often produce the opposite of what they want over time. We end up with temporary shelters that increase homelessness, drug busts that increase drug-related crime, or food aid that increases starvation.How do these unintended consequences come about and how can we avoid them? By applying conventional thinking to complex social problems, we often perpetuate the very problems we try so hard to solve, but it is possible to think differently, and get different results.Systems Thinking for Social Change enables readers to contribute more effectively to society by helping them understand what systems thinking is and why it is so important in their work. It also gives concrete guidance on how to incorporate systems thinking in problem solving, decision making, and strategic planning without becoming a technical expert.Systems thinking leader David Stroh walks readers through techniques he has used to help people improve their efforts on complex problems like:ending homelessnessimproving public healthstrengthening educationdesigning a system for early childhood developmentprotecting child welfaredeveloping rural economiesfacilitating the reentry of formerly incarcerated people into societyresolving identity-based conflictsand more!  The result is a highly readable, effective guide to understanding systems and using that knowledge to get the results you want.

Four Ways of Thinking - David Sumpter
What is the best way to think about the world? How often do we consider how our own thinking might impact the way we approach our daily decisions? Could it help or hinder our relationships, our careers, or even our health?Thinking about thinking is something we rarely do, yet it is something science questions all the time.David Sumpter has spent decades studying what we could all learn from the mindsets of scientists, and Four Ways of Thinking is the result. Here he reveals the four easily applied approaches to our problems: statistical, interactive, chaotic and complex. Combining engaging personal experience with practical advice and inspiring tales of ground-breaking scientific pioneers (with a tiny bit of number crunching along the way), Sumpter explains how these tried and tested methods can help us with every conundrum, from how to bicker less with our partners to pitching to a tough crowd - and in doing so change our lives.

And how do you weigh up the strengths and weaknesses of your own argument before putting together a persuasive conclusion?This accessible book takes you step by step through the art of argument, from thinking about what to write and how you might write it, to how you may strengthen your claims, and how to come to a strong conclusion.

The Oxford Guide to Effective Argument and Critical Thinking is sure to improve the written work of any student required to demonstrate the key skills of critical writing and thinking. It is equally as valuable for professionals needing these skills (e.g. journalists, lawyers, researchers, politicians) as well as for anyone who has a case to put forward and would like to do so convincingly.

Black and White Thinking - Professor Kevin Dutton
A Malcolm Gladwell, Susan Cain, Daniel Pink and Adam Grant NEXT BIG IDEA book club read about how to avoid the pitfalls of too little, and too much, complexity. Essential insights into the character of human choice and decision-making. ROBERT CIALDINI, bestselling author of Influence________In this groundbreaking exploration of how our brains work, psychologist Professor Kevin Dutton explains that by understanding the nature of our hardwired black and white thinking we are better equipped to negotiate life s grey zones and make subtler and smarter decisions.Our brains are hardwired to sort, categorize and draw lines. It s how we navigate the kaleidoscope of everyday information. Yet imagine failing an exam by a mere 1 per cent. Or being caught speeding at just 1 mph over the speed limit. We have to draw the line somewhere, we say. But lines can be unhelpful or even dangerous when drawn where they aren t wanted, or in too thick a hand. By thinking in terms of them or us and this or that we isolate ourselves from ideas we don t agree with and people who are not the same as us. We fail to listen to the other side of the argument and beliefs become polarized. Intolerance and extremism flourish. The human race has survived by making binary decisions, but such thinking might also destroy us. We may be programmed to think in black and white but rainbow thinking is the key to our cognitive future.__________ Fascinating, important and entirely convincing. SIR PHILIP PULLMAN

Temné radosti predátorů - Viktorín Šulc
Školák toužil, aby ho nějaká dospělá žena zasvětila do tajů sexuálních hrátek. Nešel získat její přízeň po dobrém, navlékl si kožené rukavice a nezapomněl se vyzbrojit nožem… Rande skončilo dvojnásobným mordem… Nadchází finále ojedinělého a mimořádně rozsáhlého projektu, mapujícího historii tuzemské sexuální vraždy. Předchozí díl Zlý duch ocenili spokojení čtenáři 98 procenty úspěšnosti: Opět naprosto výborná kniha. Kdo se zajímá o kriminalistiku, nemůže být zklamán, dočteme se v elektronické databázi knih. Pátý díl čtenáři vyhledávaného Panoptika se zabývá zločiny v časovém rozpětí let 1974 až 2017. Rámec třinácti kauz je naplněn jednak archivními případy, dodnes upoutávajícími kriminalistické a forenzní experty rozměrem bestiality a mnohdy nečekaným, nikoli však úlevným rozuzlením, tak těmi novějšími. Moderní kauzy, datované od roku 2010, vystihují tempo doby, k dopadení a usvědčení pachatele přispívá kromě analýzy DNA jeho elektronický otisk v podobě užití mobilů, platebních karet, samozřejmě i záznamů kamerového systému. Krvavé zločiny mají mnohdy svou předehru na internetu, někdy v rapovém rytmu, jindy v hardcorovém stylu… Temné duše, temné radosti predátorů ovšem zůstávají napříč desetiletími prakticky totožné. Kromě analýzy činu, popisu pohnutek pachatele, stejně jako shrnutí klíčových znaleckých posudků z odvětví psychiatrie, sexuologie a psychologie se autor věnuje i operativní práci kriminalistů v terénu a komentářům představitelů mordparty. Vystihnout nejtěžší možný zločin ve všech jeho podobách - i s tím se finální kniha Panoptika vyrovnává na výbornou!
