How We Think

Ten distinct patterns of thought explain why two people can look at the same situation and reach entirely different conclusions. Marius Ostrowski builds his account from psychology, neuroscience, philosophy and behavioural economics. The thinker-types are presented as tendencies to recognise rather than boxes to sort people into, which keeps the framework useful in ordinary conversation. Ostrowski translates research findings into plain explanation and everyday examples, so the book serves a general reader as readily as someone with a psychology background. The practical payoff is better communication, in teams, in classrooms and at home. Who it suits and why: • Ten thinking patterns described with research behind each • Material drawn from several disciplines rather than one • Emphasis on recognising tendencies instead of labelling people • Everyday examples that make the ideas easy to apply A good match for readers interested in psychology, leadership and personal growth, available in English at Boipoka.
