About this listen
A guide to identifying, nurturing, and growing our insight and creativity for more effective thinking.
We know that our minds are capable of great things because, every now and then, they come out with a brilliant idea or two. However, our minds are also unpredictable, spending large stretches of time idling or distracting themselves. This is a book about how to optimize these beautiful yet fitful instruments so that they can more regularly and generously produce the sort of insights and ideas we need to fulfill our potential and achieve the contentment we deserve. Among other things, we learn how to grasp fragile and flighty thoughts before they disappear through anxiety and fear; at what times of day to try to work and for how long; how to make use of our boredom and instincts; and how to overcome timid and predictable approaches to the largest problems. The result is an operating manual to that most wondrous though intermittent and always baffling organ: the human mind.

Step back and think about thinking
Short but helpful - lucid and reasonable. Philosophical and aimed at a rounded life rather than for business productivity fetishists

Badly Pitched
This book veers too often towards being twee, nice, and borderline saccharin. The chapter on love, in particular, has some provably incorrect claims on evil. Some are born bad. And while love and compassion have their place, so has toughness, rigour, and conviction to stand one's ground in the face of destructive behaviour.
