Very thorough presentation of a topic on thinking

If you could sum up The Art of Thinking Clearly in three words, what would they be?

Interesting, random, thoughtful.

What did you like best about this story?

It challenges the way you think about everyday situations, statistics and news.

What does Jonathan Keeble bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

He narrates it with humour and notably engaging inflection. It is not a 'story' but a collection of observations and advice on how to analyse and consider news, statistics and life in general, so it needed someone who could liven up the 'dry' content which he mostly does successfully.

Any additional comments?

This is a book that makes you think about how you think, what you take for granted and why a lot of what you see in the media might, in fact, be rubbish! It concentrates a bit too much on 'money' but having said that I really enjoyed it. It will certainly help me stop and think before reaching erroneous conclusions in the future. My only criticism is that it could provide a bit more of an 'overview' as this amounts to a collection of fairly random musings without much guidance on when and how to apply them.

Interesting is muddled

A must read to navigate an ever increasingly complex world, giving the reader tools to strike a balance between heuristics and logic. Superb!

My best read this year!

Good book. Felt that it could have been shorter. Overlap between chapters. Otherwise great narration and examples.

Good

It was an interesting read - not emotional!

loved every chapter of it. chapters are divided in bite size chunks, perfect for your commute and quick listens.

incredible listen and very eye opening book

For me there are much better self help books on the market, try Black Box Thinking first. This book is a little simplistic and is too broad for any of the ideas to be truly developed and for them to sink in. Too much of a scatter gun approach to actually make any difference.

If you have the time to expand on the topics yourself then you could benefit a lot. But I am guessing if you are the type of person who can do this and has the time to then youre not the type of person who would benefit from it in any case.

Not that in depth

I loved this book but I have one request for audible. Please fix the chapters to match the numbers of chapters in the book so that when the preformer says chapter 5 this is displayed on the screen, would make for easier navigation. Thanks

I recommended this great book but...

This is the second time I’ve read this book. The first time was a paperback and this time I listened. It was an excellent performance of the book although it was a little jumpy at the beginning.

Well worth a read and/or listen!

A must read!
