Über diesen Titel

Brought to you by Penguin.

Acclaimed mathematician David Sumpter shows how we can deal with the chaos and complexity of our lives.

What is the best way to think about the world? How often do we consider how our own thinking might impact the way we approach our daily decisions? Could it help or hinder our relationships, our careers, or even our health?

Thinking about thinking is something we rarely do, yet it is something science questions all the time. David Sumpter has spent decades studying what we could all learn from the mindsets of scientists, and Four Ways of Thinking is the result. Here he reveals the four easily applied approaches to our problems: statistical, interactive, chaotic and complex.

Combining engaging personal experience with practical advice and inspiring tales of ground-breaking scientific pioneers (with a tiny bit of number crunching along the way), Sumpter explains how these tried-and-tested methods can help us with every conundrum, from how to bicker less with our partners to pitching to a tough crowd - and in doing so change our lives.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

The interesting content (the four different approaches to categorising and solving problems: Statistical, interactive, chaotic and complex) makes up only a fraction of the text and does not go beyond the simplest basics. The rest are "inspiring stories of pioneering scientists", which are more reminiscent of very small-talk-heavy soap operas and for the most part extremely boring.

If you are interested in made up stories about the social behaviour of adolescent students in different eras, the book may be entertaining. But it is in no way a detailed introduction to the different categories of systems, their characteristics and handling.

At best, the "appearances" of various important historic academics provide clues as to whose works one should study in order to really learn something about the subject.

This book is a great disappointment
