Beschreibungen

What does it take to re-think anything in your life? Sometimes nothing short of turning your whole world upside down. Slow down your thinking for a moment. What is your brain doing? Almost certainly trying to come up with a single right answer because then you can <i>stop thinking</i> about the problem. All too often we are not really thinking, but sleepwalking through life. Fresh angles on familiar problems elude us. Re-thinking is the opposite: it means seeing better or different solutions. In other words, thinking as <u>un</u>usual. <i>Rethink</i> shows you why and how. <p>What if today you were to . . . Buy a new newspaper? Take a different route home? Say ‘yes’ to everything your partner asks? Invent new rituals for your family? Surround yourself with beauty? Try a first take at the creative fantasy sleeping in the attic of your mind? Find a new hero? Discover more about your upbringing? <i>Act as if</i> anything were possible rather than yes-butting the new?</p> <p>You’d be a re-thinker. Why not? There’s always a better or different solution to the way you lead your personal or professional life. <i>Rethink</i> will help you to stop living on autopilot and reawaken your sense of wonder, curiosity, and creativity.</p>

It's thinking as unusual. Seeing a fresh, different, or better solution to any problem, whether you want to reorganize your life's priorities, become closer to your partner, or dream up a new idea at work. <p>Are-think can apply to pretty much anything in your life...</p> <p><i>Re-think</i> explains how Bob Dylan, a siesta, a parrot, children, and many other things can help you to creatively re-think.</p> <p>We can all sleepwalk our way through life, and find after a short time in a job or a relationship that we've simply gone blind to the possibilities around us. Opening our minds and developing a childlike sense of  curiosity is what re-think is all about. It will help you break out of blinkered, habitual patterns of thought to become the creator of a richer life youself. It will also help you unlearn what you have learnt, which will sometimes mean breaking the habit of lifetime.</p> <p>Being creative is not just the reserve of the Einsteins, da Vincis and Richard Bransons of the world. You, too, can be just as inspired.</p>
