Four ways of thinking
£10.99Beyond all the facts and figures, there is just one question at the heart of science: what is the best way to think about the world? Yet in our everyday lives, this is something we rarely consider. How often do we wonder about our own thinking and how it might impact the way we approach our daily decisions? How it might help or hinder our relationships, our careers, or even our health? Acclaimed mathematician David Sumpter has spent decades pondering what we could all learn from the attitudes and mindsets of scientists. ‘Four Ways of Thinking’ is the result. Combining engaging personal experience with insightful analyses of everyday conundrums and life choices – from how to bicker less with our partners to the best way to pitch to an unreceptive audience – Sumpter shows there are four easily applied approaches to our problems: statistical, interactive, chaotic, and complex.

Over the course of her 15-year career, Emma has discovered that the root of this pain and confusion often lies in a blind spot: a gap in our awareness that distorts how we perceive ourselves and our loved ones which, left unchallenged, can leave us feeling unloved, insecure or overwhelmed. In ‘What am I Missing?’ Emma reveals the four blind spot profiles along with client case studies to demonstrate how they show up in daily life, and exercises to help us see past them.
