Beschreibung

A defining feature of being human is our ability to think. We refer to ourselves, after all, as Homo sapiens. But in a world where experiencing and achieving as much as possible is the number one preoccupation, there is little room for reflection. Technology is also making everything easier, eroding the need for us to think at all. Of course deep, critical thinking can be difficult, sometimes painful, and it takes time. But it is fundamental to our well-being. In this new book, bestselling philosopher and psychologist Svend Brinkmann argues for a return to the thoughtful life, where we learn to think well, to think deeply, to lose ourselves in reverie and tune in to our inner voice. By spending time in our thoughts and letting them wander freely, we will discover that thinking is one of the most enriching things we can do in life - and one of the most human, too.

Rezensionen

Tim Ingold, Emeritus Professor of Social Anthropology, University of Aberdeen
"Thinking is the greatest gift we humans possess. But we should use it responsibly and wisely, for the good of all. Brinkmann reminds us of just how much we stand to gain by doing so."
The Conversation
"Svend Brinkmann's Think is a book in praise of the thoughtful life and an easygoing exploration of the role of thinking in our lives today."
