Think: The Road Less Traveled
Our Thinking is About as Deep as a Parking Lot Puddle
Drowning in a sea of information, we're not just overwhelmed—we're interacting with it superficially. From Rodney rushing to complete tasks without understanding them, to Echo Chamber Evelyn only hearing confirming opinions, to Ismael the Information Skimmer forming opinions on soundbites, we've become a society of shallow thinkers.
This book explores the common traps of poor thinking, like Get Along Gayle's assumptions, All-Knowing Albert's arrogance, Easy Button Erica's shortcuts, Terry the Trend-Follower's fads, Enrique the Emoter's erratic decisions, and Jumping Julia's snap judgments.
Are you guilty of any of these? This book reveals how shallow thinking impacts our work, relationships, and mental well-being, offering a path to reclaim our ability to think deeply and effectively in a world of constant distractions.
