How to become a better thinker

I asked a mentor for one thing I could start doing today to become a better thinker tomorrow.

Here's what she said:

“Read more books.”

Thinking well is about adopting new paradigms.

Not making assumptions.

And always asking why.

And books are a great way to learn how to do it.

Because they give us the chance to absorb someone else's point of view. At least for a little while.

Do it enough and you’ll have hundreds of viewpoints to consider.
