How to Think

I believe that in this age, at a time when we get inundated with information from all directions, the ability to think is the most important skill we have. I expect that when, and if, the AI revolution arrives, people who have the ability to think are the ones who will not be left behind. Thinkers will be the ones who will thrive in these uncertain times.


I see four parts that are necessary for thought. You need to cultivate all four, because one or two alone may not be enough to form your best thinking. These are: • Thinking in silence; • Thinking through inspiration; • Thinking by writing; • Thinking by not (actively) thinking.
