Das kleine Einmaleins des klaren Denkens

Every human being can think. But just as with running, learning languages or organizing, some of us can do it better, others less well or even poorly. For all of them, however, there is good news: just like the other skills, thinking can be improved - through practice, perfection of technique and the use of aids. This highly enjoyable book introduces nearly two dozen easy-to-understand yet immensely effective thinking tools, from the analogy principle to the proof of contradiction to the brute force method. Given an intermediate level of fitness, they can all be understood with simple school math. These proven techniques of formal thinking facilitate the generation of ideas and increase the chances of success in solving problems. At the same time, the book's entertaining thought journeys show that thinking and having fun are by no means mutually exclusive.
