Clear Thinking

In 'Clear Thinking', Shane Parrish provides a comprehensive manual for improving decision-making and personal growth.

The book highlights how most people operate on autopilot, driven by behavioral defaults shaped by biology, evolution, and culture.

Parrish offers strategies to recognize and capitalize on pivotal moments between stimulus and response, using stories, mental models, and a 4-stage decision process (define, explore, evaluate, execute).

The book aims to help readers build self-knowledge, self-control, and self-confidence, and to make better decisions by balancing emotions with rational thinking and gathering high-quality information.
