Use the mental tools with which the world's greatest thinkers suddenly received answers to long-standing questions, explored the world around them, and honed the art of argumentation. The traditional education system required you to memorize texts and recite them without understanding the meaning. Those who were lucky enough to get a little further acquired some critical thinking skills. But how about applying them in the most daring and surprising ways that an inquisitive mind can do through a thought experiment? Learning to Think Through Thought Experiments is a book about how to analyze, perceive, and interact with information and difficult, uncertain situations using solely the mind and imagination. Here you will be offered a variety of hypotheses, encouraging you to accept the challenge and answer the question posed, reasoning and putting forward arguments that have not previously occurred to you. This book will confuse and confuse you so that it will ultimately raise the quality of your thinking to unprecedented heights, first by plunging you into its very depths. Challenge yourself - this is the key to personal growth. Improve your critical thinking by applying it in creative and innovative ways. Patrick King is an international best-selling author and social skills coach. His work is based on a wide variety of sources, research results, academic experience, coaching practice and knowledge of real life. Take the example of Sherlock Holmes - show natural and meticulous curiosity. You will be interested to know: - what does the choice between one and five people mean? – about the curious case of the cat in the safe (a lesson in uncertainty); – why the world is just a dream or a simulation; – what throwing a spear has in common with infinity; – about Zeno’s tortoise (a world where numbers diverge from reality); – how beetles and Pisces demonstrate different perceptions of reality. Learn to thrive in an environment of uncertainty, achieving depth and thoroughness of reasoning. Use the same models and tools used by Einstein, Plato, Socrates, Galileo and Lao Tzu, and your thinking skill will begin to grow exponentially.
