Focusing your thinking. How to focus on what's important
Let's figure out what our mind is. Let's learn techniques that will help you relax physically, emotionally and mentally. Let's understand how to look at the special in simple things and motivate ourselves to think.
The power of the mind. How to solve complex problems using simple means.
Let's learn how to turn the complex into simple and use the rules of Descartes' rational method. We will learn to identify the logical form of data, visualize the logical connections between them and find solutions.
Flexibility of mind. How to generate non-standard ideas.
Let's find out how to “turn on” non-standard thinking. Let's study four groups of tools: for disrupting habitual ways of thinking, generating and evaluating new ideas, and searching for contradictions and limitations.
Breadth of mind. How to effectively remember and retrieve information from memory.
Let's consider the nature of our memory and find out why memory is not a “storage chamber”, but a “library”. We will understand the importance of associations and detailed descriptions, and we will also learn to look into our “mind chambers” and study the problem of false memories.
Depth of mind. How to use recursion and notice paradoxes.
Let's find out what recursion is and where we encounter it in life. Let's study the experiments of cognitive psychologists and a whole set of paradoxes: “The Liar”, “The Barber”, “The Unexpected Execution”.
Coordination of the mind. How to make informed decisions.
Let's understand why our brain always “runs ahead” and what this leads to. Let's figure out how we make decisions in the face of incomplete and contradictory information, how to correctly correlate new facts with existing hypotheses and analyze complex cases on our fingers.
