Thinking Better
Sharpen reading and quality of your thinking
“A great many people think they are thinking when they are merely rearranging their prejudices.” — William James
What this collection is about:
How to sharpen reasoning and overall quality of your thinking — clarity, perspective, decision-making, and the mental frameworks that help you make sense of a complex world.
As the library grows, you’ll find stacks on mental models, reasoning, reflection practices, intellectual humility, and approaches that help you think more clearly and with more confidence.
