"Clear Thinking: Turning Ordinary Moments into Extraordinary Results" by Shane Parrish is an engaging guide to more effective decision-making. The book explores natural cognitive defaults and provides techniques for overriding these to enhance clarity of thought. Parrish emphasizes the importance of accurately defining problems, applying correct decision-making principles, and creating a safety margin in decisions. The book, drawing on various fields including philosophy and psychology, ends with the 3+ Principle: Force yourself to explore at least three possible solutions to a problem, not just an either-or, binary framing approach.
I recommend this book to everyone who wants to make better decisions and improve their thinking.

Nothing life changing about this book, and it got boring at times. The thoughts felt a bit disconnected to me, like Shane decided on the “clear thinking” theme after he put down all the thoughts he wanted to say. There were a few gems though! Like:
-the ego default: it isn’t about who is right but what is right
-always find at least 3 solutions to a problem
-the ego default: it isn’t about who is right but what is right
-always find at least 3 solutions to a problem

Good, succinct summary of current research on leadership, management, and decision-making. Not terribly compelling in itself

Very solid book. It makes an emphasis on creating space for thought in the little decisions we take every day, those when we barely register we're even making choices. By making sure we don't let our impulses take over, we can very quickly turn our life around to put it on the track we want to be. Must read again to extract the full value of it.
