Turning Ordinary Moments into Extraordinary Results

Average rating4
We all want to see the world clearly. The trouble is, we're never taught how.
Join Shane Parrish - 'the former spy who helps Wall Street mavens think smarter' (New York Times) - for a masterclass in the art of clear thinking. Drawing on examples ranging from the evolutionary origins of our 'emotion default' to the secret history of the Challenger disaster, Parrish offers powerful mental models to make sense of any situation. And he reveals a simple, actionable method for smarter decision-making, starting today.
Along the way, he shows that the secret to mental clarity lies not in how we approach the most high-stakes moments - but in our tiniest, most everyday decisions.

There are some amazing ideas here, and there are some pretty boring and repeated ones. Was somehow hard to read for me.
An excellent framework for thinking
The book is titled Clear Thinking which makes it seem like a general guide to thinking and common sense. However, the book mostly focused on our biases and how we can build systems to help us avoid it. That is what the book explains: we can't remove our biases but we can build systems to help us not fall prey to it.
