Is it easy to think wrong?
No. At least not at first. And here's why.
Today, we might not stand trial for heresy as Galileo did, but we do stand trial. Every single day. We stand judged against the orthodoxy of what's acceptable. The mainstream, understood norms of how things are supposed to get done. What will work, what won't. We might be encouraged with pat phrases and told to think "outside the box" or "disrupt," but the fact is, humans loathe disruption. We love routine.
It's not all our fault. We're wired for it. The simple truth is our brains conspire against us.
We tend to return to the familiar, well-trodden paths in our brain--what is referred to as those long-established practices that control and bias the mind.
Meanwhile, the brilliant solution you seek most likely lives outside those normal pathways.
The authors of THINK WRONG developed hundreds of drills to put their practices in action. These drills give you counter-moves to the most common and tenacious biological and cultural challenges.
Consider the drills your recipe for thinking wrong.
