In jeder Situation wissen, was zu tun ist - "Eine unentbehrliche Entscheidungshilfe" Spiegel-Bestsellerautor James Clear
Die Werkzeugkiste für gute Entscheidungen Denken ist nichts, was wir lernen können – werden die meisten behaupten. Shane Parrish war Agent bei einem Geheimdienst mit drei Buchstaben und musste auf die harte Tour feststellen, dass es gravierende Unterschiede beim Denken gibt. Nach einem Einsatz, der nicht mit dem gewünschten Erfolg endete, begann er, das Denken infrage zu stellen. In welchen Situationen können wir überhaupt klar denken? Wie lässt sich unser reflexartiges Denken verbessern? Sobald wir unter Druck geraten, entfernen wir uns automatisch von unserem eigentlichen Ziel und dem klaren Denken und Entscheiden. Shane Parrish hat in Gesprächen mit diversen Meister*innen des Denkens, wie beispielsweise Daniel Kahnemann, und durch eigene Reflexion herausgefunden, was klares Denken ausmacht. Welche Situationen prädestiniert sind für kluge Entscheidungen und klares Denken und wie wir uns den mentalen Raum dafür nehmen, zeigt Shane Parrish nun in seinem ersten Buch.
