This is a book that treats the subject of thinking as a complete science.
Our culture has always equated thinking with logical reasoning. However, thinking is far more than logical reasoning and includes not only rational forms of cognition such as intelligence, knowledge, and truth, but also irrational forms of cognition that our culture tends to overlook and underestimate, including intuition, emotion, and imagination.
The goal of this book is to improve your thinking skills, which are more important to your impact and happiness than anything you learn. As the famous American psychologist Borges Frederick Skinner said: "Education is what is left after a person has forgotten all he has learned."
