Clear Thinking: Turning Ordinary Moments into Extraordinary Results

ES UN LIBRO QUE TODOS LOS ESTUDIANTES DE NIVEL LICENCIATURA, QUE TENGAN COMO OBJETIVO DESTACAR EN SU VIDA PROFESIONAL, DEBEN LEER Y PONER EN PRACTICA EN SUS ACTIVIDADES DEL DIA A DIA.

The pivotal concept of the book is that of position. The so called ordinary moments, the choices we make on a daily basis (including the choice not to choose) finally crystallize into our position. This means that even minimal choices of the past can narrow or expand our options in the present moment. Willpower is limited, so the only way to apply reason to our choices is through the habits and rules we adopt. This can yield the most favorable position, and what is commonly called success.TEMPUS AGER MEUS

I am an occasional reader of Shane's blog and listener of his podcast. His focus has always been on finding timeless wisdom from experts, and using it to make better decisions about life.This book is along those lines. The main message is that we are biologically hardwired to fall back to certain default behaviours - which are not always in our long term interests - and so we need to be aware of these and do things to give us more space to think clearly.These "defaults" are split into broad categories: the ego default (preserving ourselves), the emotion default (responding to emotions), the inertia default (resisting change) and the social default (following what others do).The rest of the book is advice for how to make better decisions given this reality. Some of strategies include identifying "personal exemplars" to model behaviour from, changing environments to set a better default, having rules (don't say yes to a big decision without sleeping on it), making checklists etc. Others involve mindset or behavioural shifts like taking more responsibility for things, fixing mistakes properly etc.It finishes off with a section that reminds us that not everything we think we want is worth wanting, and to think and make decisions with meaningful goals in mind.Overall it was a fun read and reminds us of what is important not just in the long term, but what is important to do every day.
