You’ve been fooled before. You’ve missed things. You’ve been slow on the uptake, and others have passed you by. Radically transform your thinking for both speed and accuracy.

Practical Intelligence is not a common "think smarter" book. No, it starts from biological bases of analytical thinking, and how we can re-program ourselves for deep insight. This audiobook provides real, actionable tool after tool, because smart thinking is all about how, and not why or what. The bottom line is that you’ll be able to apply this audiobook’s thinking models immediately, until they become habit.

Better decision-making, smarter reasoning, and greater mental clarity.

A decent short punchy listen

covers some good tips and models, and the running time is perfect for a short listen on the go, i feel you'd need to have learnt about the models preciously before listening, but they are summerised very well.

some of the examples are a little be corny and cumbersome, and the delivery is quite flat, but given the running time its not an issue.

useful little listen to invest 1 credit in.
