I liked this book as it didn't give you a formula that you had to follow, but gave you more of a number of skills and principles that you can apply to help with making good decisions.

Popular highlights in this book
In order to get the results we desire, we must do two things. We must first create the space to reason in our thoughts, feelings, and actions; and second, we must deliberately use that space to think clearly.Highlighted by 1,804 Kindle readers- In the space between stimulus and response, one of two things can happen. You can consciously pause and apply reason to the situation. Or you can cede control and execute a default behavior.Highlighted by 1,714 Kindle readers

About the author
A practical framework to improve your Thinking Skills
Having read Shane's books on Mental Models (which I also highly recommend) I was really looking forward to this book.This book explores the skill of Clear Thinking and Shane brings to life various ways with which you can first create a space to reason in your thoughts, feelings and actions and using that space to think clearly.The book is great at creating an awareness of how we may think by default whether it's through biological instincts or other conditioning we have. It helps you understand your strengths and weaknesses and then leveraging those, creating a pause between thought and action and leveraging clear thinking to make great decisions.There are some fascinating insights in behavioural science and Shane uses very interesting and engaging stories to bring to life concepts and some really useful principles in action.This is information that's not easy to find in any other regular book so it's been very useful learning for me. Think of this book as firstly helping you understand what typically affects you and everyone else, it then helps you identify working with your strengths and weaknesses, it brings to light various examples of principles in action through powerful storytelling and it then provides you with a framework that you can use to better control your own thinking and decision making.It is a book worth studying, it's great for reference, I keep it at my desk as I am exploring these concepts and certainly has opened up eyes to things I had not considered to improve my thinking.
