A clear and practical review of the 50 most common thinking challenges everyone faces from day to day, accompanied by a full guide to the most accessible and practical solutions.Many people find themselves facing difficult work situations, day after day - often as a result of existing patterns of behaviour, or at the mercy of negative thoughts. But such cycles can be broken, allowing people to approach problems and challenges in a more robust and sustainable way. Smart Thinking will focus on common thinking challenges we all face from time to time, while also offering an array of practical solutions. This 'problem-to-solution' format is different from many books that start with a theory and then try to show how you can use the theory; Smart Thinking explains the problems and highlights the best options to resolve them, while encouraging you to look differently at the circumstances around you and to develop new, and permanent, ways of tackling any challenges.From thinking smarter to get the best out of others, to thinking more creatively about financial problems (even without maths skills), Jo Owen tackles 50 of the most common 'thinking' challenges that can derail any of our best-laid plans and intentions. With the lessons provided by Smart Thinking, you will be able to be more decisive in the face of uncertainty, make better decisions for you and your colleagues, and be more focused and clear-minded when tackling any of the unexpected problems that our busy work lives can throw at us.
