Albert Einstein allegedly said, “We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used to create them.” Wise words, whether they come from Einstein or not.
But how do you actually develop higher-level thinking skills?
One technique I use is Superthinking.
It puts the amazing power of your human brain as a problem-solving machine onto your biggest challenges, and guides your brain to solve them strategically.
Super thinking is a meta-skill. It asks you to observe and direct your own thinking at the same time.
But we’re not taught this powerful skill. And that leaves us at the whims of our brain’s default mode. Which is riddled with biases and glitches.
Your brain is a bit like ChatGPT. Its output is only as good as the prompts you give it.
In this episode, you’ll learn how to “prompt” your brain more effectively. For better, more creative, more strategic problem solving. At home, and at work.
What You'll Learn:
The value of Superthinking, and why it’s worth learning this meta-skill
Why your brain’s “default mode” results in biased thinking – and how to correct for it
How to conduct a Superthinking session
2 benefits of doing regular Superthinking in your life and work
