"An INVALUABLE RESOURCE to anyone who wants to think better." -Gretchen Rubin Award-winning
YALE PROFESSOR Woo-kyoung Ahn delivers "A MUST-READ - a smart and compellingly readable guide
to cutting-edge research into how people think." (Paul Bloom) "A FUN exploration." - Dax
Shepard Psychologist Woo-kyoung Ahn devised a course at Yale called "Thinking" to help
students examine the biases that cause so many problems in their daily lives. It quickly became
one of the university's most popular courses. Now for the first time Ahn presents key
insights from her years of teaching and research in a book for everyone. She shows how
"thinking problems" stand behind a wide range of challenges from common self-inflicted daily
aggravations to our most pressing societal issues and inequities. Throughout Ahn draws on
decades of research from other cognitive psychologists as well as from her own groundbreaking
studies. And she presents it all in a compellingly readable style that uses fun examples from
pop culture anecdotes from her own life and illuminating stories from history and the
headlines. Thinking 101 is a book that goes far beyond other books on thinking showing how
we can improve not just our own daily lives through better awareness of our biases but also the
lives of everyone around us. It is quite simply required reading for everyone who wants to
think-and live-better.
