Reviews

An indispensable guide to making smarter decisions each day. -- James Clear, author of Atomic Habits
A valuable antidote to stupidity, and a game-changer for anyone seeking to succeed. -- Morgan Housel, author of THE PSYCHOLOGY OF MONEY
A must-read for anyone who wants to get a handle on their own mind and figure out how to transform their life. -- Mark Manson, author of THE SUBTLE ART OF NOT GIVING A F*CK
Shane Parrish is someone I have been reading for many, many years. This book is his masterwork, the culmination of all his research, interviewing, and experiences that everyone will benefit from. -- Ryan Holiday, author of THE DAILY STOIC
Shane Parrish has a marvelous gift for asking the right questions to elicit how clear thinkers think. After mining the minds of an impressive array of decision makers, he's now put it all together in Clear Thinking, giving us a powerful framework of concepts and tools. Parrish guides us through the mental landscape of people who have spent their lives learning how to think with rigor and decide with discipline. Incisive. Practical. Full of vivid examples, and enormously fun to read. -- Jim Collins, author of GOOD TO GREAT
