Clear Thinking: Turning Ordinary Moments into Extraordinary Results

 

• 《原子習慣》作者盛讚：「一本讓你能夠作出更佳決策的必備指南！」
• 管理學大師《基業長青》《從A到A+》作者吉姆‧柯林斯評論：「派瑞許擁有『問對問題』的絕佳決策能力。他將所學、所知的精華都整合在這本新作中，為我們提供了強大的概念和工具。」

 
　　你是理性的人嗎？面對工作和生活中大大小小的選擇，是否對自己的決策力感到滿意？事實上，我們可能不如自己想像中的理性。受到生物學和文化的影響，人們其實常常處於一個類似自動駕駛的模式，經常在充分思考之前就已經依慣性做出立即的行為反應。
 
　　從接收到訊息，到對事件做出反應的過程中，認知上的偏差常使我們做出錯誤選擇，以致採取了一連串積極的作為，卻在導航系統未校正、設定偏誤的情況下，與財富、勝利、愛和歸屬感，或是其他想要追求的目標漸行漸遠……
 
　　《Clear Thinking》將為讀者提供一副萬能解方，建立新的思維習慣！作者透過故事例證和心智模型，解釋在不同情境下，任何人在決策過程中可能發生的缺失，再提供強而有力的思考框架和工具，協助讀者有效優化理性思維能力。學會在平凡的境遇中，鑑別出各種潛藏的競爭優勢，精準串接最終目標與過程中的行動方案，實現更富足的理想生活。(文/博客來編譯)

　　'Few things will change your trajectory in life or business as much as learning to think clearly. Yet few of us recognize opportunities to think in the first place.

　　You might believe you’re thinking clearly in the moments that matter most. But in all likelihood, when the pressure is on, you won’t be thinking at all. And your subsequent actions will inevitably move you further from the results you ultimately seek—love, belonging, success, wealth, victory. According to Farnam Street founder Shane Parrish, we must get better at recognizing these opportunities for what they are, and deploying our cognitive ability in order to achieve the life we want.

　　Clear Thinking gives you the tools to recognize the moments that have the potential to transform your trajectory, and reshape how you navigate the critical space between stimulus and response. As Parrish shows, we may imagine we are the protagonists in the story of our lives. But the sad truth is, most of us run on autopilot. Our behavioral defaults, groomed by biology, evolution, and culture, are primed to run the show for us if we don’t intervene. At our worst, we react to events without reasoning, not even realizing that we’ve missed an opportunity to think at all. At our best, we recognize these moments for what they are, and apply the full capacity of our reasoning and rationality to them.

　　Through stories, mental models, and more, Parrish offers the missing link between behavioral science and real-life outcomes. The result is a must-have manual for optimizing decision-making, gaining competitive advantage, and living a more intentional life.
