'Packed with practical examples and insightful wisdom. . . A highly enjoyable and effective
guide to better thinking' Sabine Hossenfelder 'I wish David Sumpter had been my maths
teacher. I hated the subject at school. I hoover up his books now' Sunday Times 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.
