Summary

“Clear Thinking” offers a practical guide to improve your thinking skills and decision-making by understanding and overcoming mental obstacles. It addresses cognitive biases, those unconscious mental shortcuts that can distort our perception, and also provides structured methods for effective problem-solving. For example, confirmation bias leads us to favor information confirming existing beliefs, while anchoring bias makes us overly rely on the first piece of information received. Understanding these biases is the first step toward more rational thought.

 
The book progresses by first introducing the principles of clear thinking and exploring common cognitive biases, then it focuses on structured problem-solving methods such as first principles thinking. Finally, it integrates these concepts, demonstrating how to apply clear thinking to real-world scenarios like personal finance and career management. This approach empowers readers to achieve mental clarity and improve their judgment.

Anarchy in Action - Case Studies...

Arlo Holders

Anarchism is often misunderstood and misrepresented, seen by many as synonymous with chaos and disorder. However, anarchism is a diverse and complex political philosophy that seeks to create a society free from oppressive hierarchies, such as the state, capitalism, and institutionalized authority. At its core, anarchism advocates for the dismantling of centralized power structures and the establishment of self-governed, voluntary communities based on mutual aid, solidarity, and direct action. Anarchists believe that individuals should have the freedom to organize their lives and work collectively without the interference of coercive institutions. 
The history of anarchism traces back to the early 19th century, with influential thinkers such as Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, Mikhail Bakunin, and Peter Kropotkin shaping its development. Proudhon is often credited with coining the term “anarchy,” which he defined as “order without power.” Bakunin, one of the most prominent anarchist figures, argued that the state inherently oppresses the individual and stifles freedom, calling for a revolutionary transformation that would replace governmental authority with voluntary associations. Kropotkin, another major figure, emphasized the importance of mutual aid and cooperation, asserting that human beings are naturally inclined to work together for the common good, rather than being solely driven by competition and self-interest.

Make to Know - From spaces of...

Lorne Buchman

A journey through the minds of some of the most creative people on the planet reveals that creativity is rarely a “lightbulb moment” and instead arrives through a process of making and self-understanding. The creative process is winding. It involves entertaining uncertainty and improvising new paths to knowing. In this insightful and informed book, Lorne M. Buchman, an international leader in art and design education and president of ArtCenter College of Design in Pasadena, California, guides readers through stories of a diverse and talented group of artists, entrepreneurs, innovators, and designers. Including such luminaries as Yves Béhar, Chris Kraus, Zack Snyder, Paula Scher, and Frank Gehry and businesses like Apple and Tesla who have changed the world as we know it, Buchman focuses on the revelatory nature of the creative journey itself. Michelangelo is said to have seen the angel in the stone and carved away until he set him free. Make to Know is about making as a path to knowing?presenting creativity as a “carving away” toward a revelation, not as a fully formed epiphany gleaned from a mysterious ether. As Buchman reveals throughout this provocative book, uncertainty is the space where discovery happens and where creators can be both playful and imaginative. Whether you’re an artist, designer, writer, daydreamer, or doodler, anyone can learn from these lessons on the varied paths to self-expression.

Pipestone - My Life in an Indian...

Laurence M. Hauptman, Adam...

Best known as a leader of the Indian takeover of Alcatraz Island in 1969, Adam Fortunate Eagle now offers an unforgettable memoir of his years as a young student at Pipestone Indian Boarding School in Minnesota. In this rare firsthand account, Fortunate Eagle lives up to his reputation as a "contrary warrior" by disproving the popular view of Indian boarding schools as bleak and prisonlike. 
 
 
 
Fortunate Eagle attended Pipestone between 1935 and 1945, just as Commissioner of Indian Affairs John Collier's pluralist vision was reshaping the federal boarding school system to promote greater respect for Native cultures and traditions. But this book is hardly a dry history of the late boarding school era. Telling this story in the voice of his younger self, the author takes us on a delightful journey into his childhood and the inner world of the boarding school. Along the way, he shares anecdotes of dormitory culture, student pranks, and warrior games. Although Fortunate Eagle recognizes Pipestone's shortcomings, he describes his time there as nothing less than "a little bit of heaven." 
 
 
 
Were all Indian boarding schools the dispiriting places that history has suggested? This book allows listeners to decide for themselves.
