Most of the book was good advice on thought processes for better knowledge and understanding psychologically. The end fizzled out for me. I will definitely copy the 30 action points for impact at the end to make notes. Biggest takeaway was the section on persuasive listening. The learning organization had some good ideas, but didn't seem as well thought out and written. You know those meetings where you think, this could have been an email, or even a fair sized sticky note? I have something similar for books where I sometimes think, “this could have been an article”. This book falls squarely into that category for me. There were certainly a few valuable insights but overall I just got the impression that the author was trying his level best to fill up space. Tiene la adaptaciónListas de sobresalientes
En nuestra vida diaria, muchos de nosotros preferimos la zona de confort de nuestras creencias sobre la incomodidad de la duda. Escuchamos opiniones que nos hacen sentir bien, en lugar de ideas que nos hacen reflexionar. Vemos el desacuerdo como una amenaza para nuestro ego, más que como una oportunidad para aprender. Nos rodeamos de personas que están de acuerdo con nuestras conclusiones, cuando deberíamos estar gravitando hacia aquellos que desafían nuestro proceso de pensamiento. El resultado es que esas creencias se vuelven frágiles mucho antes que nosotros mismos. Cuanto más brillante es alguien, puede estar más cegado a ver sus limitaciones. Piénsalo otra vez revela que no tenemos que creer todo lo que pensamos o internalizar todo lo que sentimos. Es una invitación a dejar de lado las opiniones que nos impiden avanzar y a valorar la flexibilidad mental, la humildad y la curiosidad por encima de la coherencia establecida. Si el conocimiento es poder, saber lo que no sabemos es sabiduría. El poder de saber lo que no sabes No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

The book reveals some interesting ideas, some more original than others. The book also gives direction for a more “scientific” apporach involving reviewing ideas all the time to establish what is good knowledge.
But there is a big problem which underlies the whole text that stopped me from taking it seriously which is that some fundamentals of scientific method are not applies in the actual knowledge presented by the book. The author says we should be ready to update our ideas based on evidence but then presents views dogmatically, without trying to illustrate counter examples, without looking at the statistics underlying this knowledge, without trying to explain to what extent these ideas are true…
Ultimately the author assumes the reader is in a fairly narrow socio-cultural-economic space. The author is talking to big companies, successful people, working on problems that are quite niche. How would this translate to a broader world population I cannot see, and if it doesn’t could it be the basic of knowledge here is not set up correctly?
I found the book very useful as an example of how well meaning scientific knowledge is presented devoid of the tools that give science the power to actually create consensus.
Very likely all these problems were part of the process of the author’s engagement with publishers and their concers of how accessible the text would be. The end chapters give a picture of how invasive publishers can be.
