AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Learning to think clearly can significantly alter your life and business trajectory, yet many fail to recognize opportunities for clear thinking. In critical moments, under pressure, we often don’t think at all, leading us away from our desired outcomes—love, success, and wealth. Shane Parrish, founder of Farnam Street, emphasizes the importance of identifying these moments and harnessing our cognitive abilities to shape the lives we want. Clear Thinking equips you with tools to spot transformative moments and navigate the space between stimulus and response. While we may see ourselves as the main characters in our lives, the reality is that many operate on autopilot. Our instincts, shaped by biology, evolution, and culture, often dictate our reactions, causing us to miss opportunities for thoughtful engagement. At our best, we can recognize these critical moments and employ our reasoning and rationality effectively. Through engaging stories and mental models, Parrish bridges behavioral science and practical outcomes, offering a vital guide for enhancing decision-making, achieving competitive advantage, and leading a more intentional life. This manual is essential for anyone looking to optimize their thinking and actions in pursuit of their goals.
