Thinking Tactics: A Journey in the Human Mind - Paperback

by Mogtaba Mohamed Osman Elhadi (Author)

A Book to Push the Boundaries of Intelligence:

I have always dreamed of a book that could teach me how to think and how to become more intelligent. While many great books out there can contribute to this goal, there isn't a single book that claims to exclusively enhance intelligence.

This gap in literature is understandable because intelligence remains enigmatic. If a poet were asked, 'How did you write that beautiful poem?' they wouldn't be able to precisely describe the mental process. A grandmaster chess player might say, to explain a genius move, 'It just feels like the only right move.' And a mathematician might comment, 'It's like connecting dots, ' when solving a puzzling equation. The truth is, we still don't fully understand the nature of thinking or where our finest ideas come from. Nevertheless, it's evident that intelligence is profoundly linked to patterns.

We have extracted a set of twenty-one thinking techniques that trace the common patterns of thought used by great thinkers throughout history. These patterns are drawn from diverse fields such as Science, Philosophy, Art, and even Legends. No prior expertise is necessary to comprehend them; they are conveyed through narratives and stories, ensuring they are accessible to nearly everyone.

'What sets this book apart, something you might not come across often, is that it doesn't present the stories of theories in the usual manner. Instead, it describes the underlying thinking behind them.'

Admittedly, the patterns we have gathered do not adhere to a unified framework and are far from being perfect. Achieving such uniformity is challenging, as science itself has not yet reached that horizon of consensus.

Whether you're an entrepreneur, a student, a mentor, a researcher, or an individual aspiring to refine your critical thinking abilities, problem-solving skills, innovation, and creativity, this book has something to offer. It invites you to embark on a journey of intellectual enrichment, pushing the boundaries of conventional thinking and elevating our intelligence.
