Información del libro
Thinking Better is a celebration of the art of the short cut – and an encouragement to all of us, in our lives and maybe particularly in our business lives, to realise that thinking better is often more successful than working faster.
A new invention is often born of someone who can’t be bothered to do things the hard way. Laziness doesn’t mean that you do nothing; often it means you prefer to play rather than work. But play is frequently the place to foster creativity and new ideas rather than the dull mechanistic world of work – it’s one of the reasons that the offices of start-ups are often filled will pool tables and board games as much as desks and computers.
There is evidence that humans working in conjunction with computers, literally working as a team, can achieve more than computers can achieve on their own. We may not be able to rely on computers to solve all of our problems – whether personal, or business, or even on a planetary level – but Thinking Better explores how together we just might be able build a successful future together.
