Thinking 101 How to Reason Better to Live Better by Woo-kyoung Ahn
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.
"Every day of our lives, we make judgments—and we don’t always do a very good job of it. Thinking 101 is an invaluable resource to anyone who wants to think better. In remarkably clear language, and with engaging and often funny examples, Woo-kyoung Ahn uses cutting-edge research to explain the mistakes we often make—and how to avoid them.” - Gretchen Rubin, author of The Happiness Project
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 must-read - a smart and compellingly readable guide to cutting-edge research into how people think.
