Ментальные ловушки : Глупости, которые делают разумные люди, чтобы испортить себе жизнь

What is Systems Thinking? Systems thinking goes beyond logic, because people are not always logical. Systems thinking sees beyond isolated events to the deeper patterns and connections. This book explains the principles of systems thinking in a straightforward way with practical applications, exercises and examples that will help you become more influential and successful in managing your health, work, finances and relationships. This book will show you how: you can get a huge result for a small effort, obvious solutions can often do more harm than good, to avoid recurrent misfortunes that seem to happen automatically, to know the best time to change strategy, your attempted solution can cause the problem you are trying to solve, and you can never do just one thing because there are always side effects. "They sap your energy, undermine your productivity, cloud your thinking, and generally take all the fun out of life. They're mental traps, and even the most clearheaded Einsteins among us fall victim to them from time to time. Now you can avoid these pitfalls and enhance your pleasure and personal performance." "Psychologist and philosopher Andre Kukla opens your eyes to the eleven most common mental traps, including persistence-the refusal to abandon a useless task or course of action; amplification-the "killing a fly with a sledgehammer" syndrome; reversion-the "coulda-woulda-shoulda" disease; and resistance-the "let-me-just" disorder. Mental Traps will help you free yourself from time-wasting mental traffic jams and be more productive in your everyday life.
