Full Description
Success isn't about what you know. It's about how you think.
Building a great career and an enriching life isn't rocket science. It's about understanding more clearly, thinking more creatively, and planning more effectively. This guide to productive thinking will help you do exactly that.
Whether you need to solve business problems, create new opportunities, or improve your personal life, Think Better offers the principles and tools you need. Author Tim Hurson takes you through the critical steps you need to:
• Commit to Change: Discover how what's working often blinds us to what's possible. Recognize that every frustration is an opportunity in disguise. Imagine a future of creative possibilities.
• Integrate the Principles of Productive Thinking: Don't just think outside the box. Recognize that for productive thinkers there is no box. Unlock the creative ideas in the "third third" of your consciousness—ideas that are always there, but often hovering just out of reach.
• Take Active Steps to Focus on and Solve Problems: Use the thinking tools in this book to make the unexpected connections that are at the heart of all creative ideas and implementable solutions.
It's a myth that people are either born productive thinkers or not. Productive thinking is a skill that can be taught, learned, practiced, and mastered—by anyone.
Thinking better leads to doing better, and ultimately to being better—in business and in life. With productive thinking, you can take on challenges in ways you never dreamed possible.
