How often have you been told to “think outside the box”?
Do you keep hearing this phrase from successful inventors, artists, and business coaches?
Do you keep wondering what it actually means?
Thinking outside the box means applying existing knowledge in new, unexpected ways to come up with new ideas and solutions. This is an essential skill in today’s fast-changing world.
But saying “think outside the box” isn’t enough – you have to be aware of the box before you can think outside it.
The scientific name for this imaginary box is “mental model”. Mental models are useful because they help you learn: they help you make sense of new information and attach it to your existing knowledge. But, at the same time, they can limit your thinking. So it’s important to know your boxes well if you want to think outside them. And this is exactly what this book is about.
Be aware of your mental models and their limitations
Discover the visible effects that your thinking patterns have on your life
Does this sound like too much thinking? Don’t worry, the book is easy to read and provides real-life techniques that you can start using at once. It will teach you to generate new ideas, to see life in a more positive light and to master any professional or personal challenge that may come your way!
