"…the book is an easy read, though rewards re-reading. Unlike many
of these 'Think yourself smarter' books, this one has lots of good
advice, and feels like it relies on primary sources more than
secondary. In fact, I bet I end up reading a lot of what is in this
book, taken out of context by 'Think yourself successful' gurus.
Save time, read it here, at the source."
---Tom Otley, The Business Traveler
"Smart Thinking teaches people how their minds work so they can be
more effective performers at work and at life. An essential read
for anyone who wants to operate at their best, think outside the
box, and accomplish whatever goals they set out to achieve."
---Sian Beilock, PhD, author of Choke
“If you want to be more creative, if you want to be an innovator,
this is the book for you. Creativity doesn't fall out of the sky.
It favors the prepared mind. This book prepares your mind.”
---Hara Estroff Marano, author of A Nation of Wimps
“What does thinking quickly create a positive mood? Are goals
contagious? How do you create a culture of smart
thinking? Building on decades of research in cognitive
psychology and replete with stories and practical tools, Markman
answers these questions and in doing so teaches you how to
learn. Once finished, you’ll feel smarter. Consider it an
owner’s manual to the mind.”
---Jennifer Lynn Aaker, General Atlantic Professor of Marketing,
Stanford GSB and author of The Dragonfly Effect
“Smart Thinking not only enriches the literature on human
thought--and its foibles--it takes it to the next level, offering
clear prescriptions for how to sharpen memory, analysis and
creativity in our daily lives.”
---Wray Herbert, author of On Second Thought: Outsmarting Your
Mind's Hard-Wired Habits
