Thinking 101 is her first book.“An INVALUABLE RESOURCE to anyone who wants to think better.” ―Gretchen RubinAward-winning YALE PROFESSOR Woo-kyoung Ahn delivers “A MUST-READ―a smart and compellingly readable guide to cutting-edge research into how people think.” (Paul Bloom)“A FUN exploration.” ―Dax ShepardPsychologist Woo-kyoung Ahn devised a course at Yale called “Thinking” to help students examine the biases that cause so many problems in their daily lives. It quickly became one of the university’s most popular courses. In Ahn’s class, students examine “thinking problems”―like confirmation bias, causal attribution, and delayed gratification―and how they contribute to our most pressing societal issues and inequities. Now, for the first time, Ahn presents key insights from her years of teaching and research in a book for everyone.Ahn draws on decades of research from other cognitive psychologists, as well as from her own groundbreaking studies. And she presents it all in a compellingly readable style that uses fun examples from K-pop dancing, anecdotes from her own life, and illuminating stories from history and the headlines.Thinking 101 is a book that goes far beyond other books on thinking, showing how we can improve not just our own daily lives and tackle real-world problems through better awareness of our biases but also the lives of everyone around us. It is, quite simply, required reading for everyone who wants to think―and live―better.ReviewPraise for Thinking 101“This book is not just a lucid overview of the cognitive traps that wreak havoc on your reasoning―it’s also an expert's guide to rethinking how we think.”―Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Think Again"Thinking 101 combines the best science with practical advice to help you make better decisions. Ahn’s stories are spot-on, they are humorous, and they show us how thinking can be turned on itself to overcome the biases from, well, thinking!"―Mahzarin Banaji, Professor of Psychology, Harvard University and co-author of Blindspot: Hidden Biases of Good People"Every day of our lives, we make judgments―and we don’t always do a very good job of it. Thinking 101 is an invaluable resource to anyone who wants to think better. In remarkably clear language, and with engaging and often funny examples, Woo-Kyoung Ahn uses cutting-edge research to explain the mistakes we often make―and how to avoid them.”―Gretchen Rubin, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Happiness Project and The Four Tendencies"Thinking 101 delivers a world-class tune-up for your brain. It will unclog your mental gears, restart your cognitive engine, and put you on the road to making smarter decisions.”―Daniel H. Pink, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Power of Regret, Drive, and A Whole New Mind“There are other books on typical errors and biases of thinking. But Ahn’s is remarkable. Not only does she limit her coverage to just eight major such thinking problems, which allows her to deeply inform the reader about each with engaging, conversational prose, she also offers compelling, research-based ways to limit the problems’ unwanted impact. The result is a terrific one-two punch.”―Robert Cialdini, author of Influence and Pre-Suasion"Thinking 101 is a must-read―a smart and compellingly readable guide to cutting-edge research into how people think.
