The scout mindset : why some people see things clearly and others don't / Julia Galef. by Galef, Julia, author. [New York, New York] : Portfolio / Penguin, an imprint of Penguin Random House LLC, [2021] Subjects Cognition.   Skepticism.   Critical thinking. ISBN:  9780735217553 (hardcover) : 0735217556 (hardcover) : Description:  xiv, 273 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm Requests:  0 Summary:  "When it comes to what we believe, humans see what they want to see. In other words, we have what Julia Galef calls a "soldier" mindset. From tribalism and wishful thinking, to rationalizing in our personal lives and everything in between, we are driven to defend the ideas we most want to believe--and shoot down those we don't. But if we want to get things right more often, argues Galef, we should train ourselves to have a "scout" mindset. Unlike the soldier, a scout's goal isn't to defend one side over the other. It's to go out, survey the territory, and come back with as accurate a map as possible. Regardless of what they hope to be the case, above all, the scout wants to know what's actually true. In The Scout Mindset, Galef shows that what makes scouts better at getting things right isn't that they're smarter or more knowledgeable than everyone else. It's a handful of emotional skills, habits, and ways of looking at the world--which anyone can learn. With fascinating examples ranging from how to survive being stranded in the middle of the ocean, to how Jeff Bezos avoids overconfidence, to how superforecasters outperform CIA operatives, to Reddit threads and modern partisan politics, Galef explores why our brains deceive us and what we can do to change the way we think"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 153.4 Ga Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 153.4 Galef Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 153.4 Ga Checked In Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 153.4 Ga Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mountain View P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 153.4 Ga Checked In Add Copy to MyList Wahiawa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 153.4 Ga Checked In Add Copy to MyList
