AN INVITATION TO HELP US THINK BETTER

This is a trial. Your questions and criticism are welcome.

The Book of Thinking is being written and tested in public. You may find a mistake, a missing explanation, or a better way of asking the question. We want to hear about it. The ideas here are open to challenge, and some research is still unsettled.

THE NEXT QUESTION CHANGES EVERYTHING

What could you discover if you asked a different question?

Some questions close doors. Others reveal what is missing, who could help, and what we might learn by trying. This is a book you can enter anywhere—and think your way through.

There's no wrong entrance. Your question isn't sent to a server.

YOU COULD BEGIN WITH…
THREE WAYS IN

Follow what catches your attention.

There is an underlying structure, but no required front door. Choose an idea and see where it leads.

Not knowing how is a starting condition, not necessarily a limit on what becomes possible.

AN IDEA WE ARE EXPLORING TOGETHER
THE BOOK IS READY TO READ, NOT FINISHED

Read it as a book. Follow it as a conversation.

Sixteen short chapters bring together our thinking about curiosity, intelligence, invention, confidence, failure and connected knowledge. Read in order or enter anywhere. Each chapter welcomes your objections and ideas.
