Smart Thinking

Three Essential Keys to Solve Problems, Innovate, and Get Things Done

De: Art Markman

Narrado por: Sean Pratt

Think smart people are just born that way? Think again.

Drawing on diverse studies of the mind, from psychology to linguistics, philosophy, and learning science, Art Markman, Ph.D., demonstrates the difference between "smart thinking" and raw intelligence, showing listeners how memory works, how to learn effectively, and how to use knowledge to get things done. He then introduces his own three-part formula for listeners to employ "smart thinking" in their daily lives.

Smart Thinking gives listeners:

• The means to replace self-limiting habits with new behaviors that foster smart thinking
• An understanding of the mind itself as well as memory
• The ability to define and solve problems by finding and applying relevant knowledge
• Ways to present and process information effectively

Thumbs up

Lots of great information in this book and it is well narrated. A bit long and dry in some parts, otherwise it may have received 5 stars in my review. However, it is still well worth the small investment.

Amusing and logical

This book reinforced some concepts I have been applying on a daily basis. Although I didn't find the book original I recommend it as it is a great guide for a structured and rational thinking and efficiency.

An important book for anyone who want to learn how people make decisions and help them make better ones.

looking forward to 2nd listen

I loved it,and look forward to the day that I can utilize the information. Very usable information, but may need a 2nd listen to gasp it all.

Brilliant!

Art Markman makes it so clear how to think better to solve problems, innovate, and get things done solo or in groups that this book is a must. Not pop psychology and not long and boring. If you just take away the concepts on smart habits you are a winner baby.
Do yourself a favour and listen to this book slowly. Learn from it and take the concepts into your own realm you will profit straight away.

Amazing book

Every chapter is amazing great learning, I like the rule of 3 and planning to use in my daily work

Fully Developed Suggestions

Contact was presented in bite-size pieces. And it was actionable. I took notes along the way and believe I will put some of his ideas into action.

Very, very helpful

Would you consider the audio edition of Smart Thinking to be better than the print version?

No, it's complimentary!

What did you like best about this story?

Practical things to learn. Three points. Habits.

Which character – as performed by Sean Pratt – was your favorite?

Art Markman

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No. Needs to be sipped. Swished around the brain first.

Any additional comments?

I like books like this that are practical and presented in a digestible way.

Good, informative, but not page turner

I enjoyed the listen. But like many of the books in this genre it does get a little tedious. Worth a credit, just not a book to rave about.
