Story
Neuroscience-proven guidelines to think, act, and become smarter ASAP. It’s not what you know, it’s how you think. 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.

Story
There is a war on for your mind. We are endlessly confronted by those who would manipulate us – advertisers, pick-up artists, politicians, big tech, cult leaders and many more – even the humble waiter who asks, ‘Still or sparkling?’ All forms of communication are designed to persuade you in some way. Politicians and nudge units manipulate us into agreeing with controversial policies. Adverts tell us to buy lots of this, but none of that. The news tells us what to care about. Charities compete for our support. Social media buffets us with algorithms.
