Synopsis

This book is an urgent appeal to those who see the existential threats humanity and life on Earth are facing and want to contribute to solutions. The fundamental argument is that we all, not just governments or experts, need to use our own brainpower to confront these dire problems including climate change, nuclear dangers, authoritarianism, Artificial Intelligence, poverty, and inequality.

Exploring philosophy, critical culture theory, technology, evolution, and the human brain, the book explains key methods of deep thinking, contemplation, and analysis.

Practicing these methods can lead people away from limited ways of thinking that are stifling creative insights, and toward new thinking and understanding for addressing urgent issues and finding the will to act.

The purpose of the book is to help and encourage readers to think differently—and to show why it is necessary for the survival of humanity and life on Earth. Many more of us must commit to becoming better thinkers, and commit to changing ourselves with new thoughts and ideas, and as a result, become stronger actors.

This book is aimed at people who are aware of the global threats facing all of us, and know that these complex problems are not being sufficiently addressed. It is for people who feel the need to act yet may feel frustrated or helpless. And for young adults who are increasingly aware that solving these problems may be largely up to them. This book is also for educators, academics, activists, and public intellectuals who can apply the teaching and strategies in their own work and settings.

Those who are eager to figure out what they can do will find new perspectives, insight, and inspiration in every chapter. And many people will delight in the opportunity to increase their own cognitive power.
