6' - Pragmatic Thinking and Learning: Refactor Your Wetware

This excerpt from the book "Pragmatic Thinking and Learning: Refactor Your Wetware" by Andy Hunt argues that to improve thinking and learning, individuals must understand how the brain works, identify and address cognitive biases, and adopt deliberate learning practices. The text emphasizes the importance of intuition, recognizing that our brain has two distinct processing modes: linear (L-mode) and rich (R-mode). Hunt suggests techniques to cultivate R-mode thinking, such as multisensory experiences, role-playing, and metaphorical thinking. He also discusses the Dreyfus Model of Skill Acquisition, highlighting how individuals progress from novice to expert through five stages, and recommends practices like "playing the inner game" to improve learning by fostering self-awareness and managing cognitive interference.

"Alchemy of Self" is a transformative process of personal growth, akin to how alchemists sought to turn base metals into gold. In a metaphorical sense, it refers to refining the human spirit, mind, and potential through self-discovery, learning, spiritual or psychological evolution, and/or working directly with a Teacher. In this series, famous and little-known texts about money, mind, and spirit are transformed into AI-based conversations that lead (you) the listener on your own inquiry. Listen carefully, let questions arise, and engage what you hear - now.
