Disruptors and Curious minds… CEOS, founders, professionals and book lovers! Welcome to the Thinking On Paper Book Club!

This month we’re reading Clear Thinking by Farnam Street founder and The Knowledge Project host Shane Parrish.

Why are we reading Clear Thinking?

Some call the book a must read for intentional living and decision making. All we know is this book can change lives, careers, relationships and mindsets.

Here’s what you can expect:

🧠 You'll Unlock Your Cognitive Potential: Parrish provides practical tools to harness the power of your mind and make better decisions. We love frameworks and strategies. Universal Truths, Actionable insight.

🧠 You'll Navigate Life with Intention: Oh those defaults! Be gone! The ego default, the social default, the inertia default and the emotion default. Clear thinking will help you recognise these biological defaults and give you the skills to override them.

🧠 You'll Enhance Decision-Making: What are you going to do with all this clear thinking? We’ll unpack the reality of better decision making at work, home and everywhere else you need to engage thinking before you jump head first into the fire.

🧠 You'll Override Your Mental Models: Parrish uses engaging narratives and stories to explain the mental models that hamper your progress, curtail your fun and put a million spanners in your works in progress! Recency bias, Action Bias, the Affect Heuristic, Ambiguity Effect, Anchoring Bias, Attentional Bias, Authority Bias, Availability Heuristic and the Bandwagon Effect. You’ll learn how to notice them and send them packing.

🤯 AI says Shane Parrish’s “Clear Thinking” is more than a book; it’s a catalyst for change. It’s an essential read for anyone looking to live a more deliberate and fulfilling life. The algorithm recommends you dive into this book, then you’ll emerge from the waters with a clearer, more focused mind ready to tackle the world’s complexities. We don’t always agree with AI, but we’ll take that.

Tried meditating for the first time today. It’s amazing how a few minutes of silence can clear your mind.
