What if you could unlock the science of effective thinking and harness your mental processes for greater success at work and in life? Join two experts in the field of applied cognitive science as they reveal the hidden mechanisms behind our thoughts and actions. Beginning with the fundamental question of what makes some individuals excel in areas where others falter, this book explores how our mental frameworks – shaped by experience, knowledge, and the intricate workings of the mind – directly impact our effectiveness in everyday situations. From delivering a compelling presentation to leading a team through a challenging project, our cognitive models dictate our outcomes more than we realize. Drawing on the latest research in cognition and learning, Dr. Jim Heal and Dr. Rebekah Berlin provide a roadmap for refining the mental models that shape our daily decisions.
