Reading someone else's book about how to think independently seems like some sort of ironic joke.
I'd love it if the first page was just "Stop reading other people's thoughts and go think." And then the rest of the pages are blank.
- joshuamcginnis 3y agoI'm not sure I'd phrase it as a _joke_, but I see your point. I think a lot of people aren't even aware of how much of their thinking is done for them. We all hold assumptions (like your comment) that are subject to different kinds of biases or influence. If you can read something that provides a framework for helping analyze your own decision-making and introspectively discover how you arrived at your conclusions, then I think that can be helpful.
