Thinking Games

Brainpower Newsletter

I was happy to see that many of you signed up for my "Radical Thinking Course" on http://www.radicalnewthoughts.com after I announced it a few weeks ago. I'll be working on that in the coming week (adding lessons), so this newsletter might be a bit smaller, but I'll still have some good content here as well.

In fact, this week I have some new mental exercises or "games" to introduce below. I think you might enjoy them.

What are "thinking games?" They are are games and exercises that help develop thinking skills. Other mental games exercise memory, or test knowledge (usually in the form of trivia), and they are certainly good for your brainpower. The following, however, require analysis, creativity and imagination.

Theoretically, all of the following can be played alone, but try to get a friend or two to join you. The interaction of two or more minds helps you generate more ideas gets you thinking in new ways. With no clear "winners," these are not truly competitive games, but they are fun.

An Imagination Game

This is a simple exercise in imagination that you can do anywhere. One of you invents a...

To learn faster and more effectively, imagine how you will use what you are learning. There is so much information, and so little of it is the "important stuff." By imagining how you'll use the new information, you tend to automatically focus on the things you really need to know.

Would you like to easily come up with dozens of creative solutions to almost any kind of problem? Then buy a copy of "Problem Solving Power" (This one is my own book). You'll find more than two dozen effective and fun techniques for solving problems and generating ideas. Try these techniques, and if you don't have dozens of new ideas by tonight, get a refund. Fair enough?

Within this remaining large range of options, we are left with the usual guides to decision and action, which are less well formulated. These include feelings, advice from others, and our general intuition about which choices are best.

Probabilitism digs into that intuitive part to extract the general idea of making choices based on the probabilities of them achieving our values. This is what we do intuitively, after all. A man isn't sure whether to start a business or keep his job, for example. His intuition at some point urges him to go for the business, because it has a higher probability of rewarding him according to...
