Linking Your Thinking

From the creator of the popular online learning company Linking Your Thinking, a powerful new method for creating your own ideaverse, so you practice generative thinking, develop fresh ideas, and have more creative breakthroughs. In the pre-Internet world, information was scarce—and therefore valuable. Yet today, information is not only abundant, but it’s bombarding our brains so relentlessly that it exhausts the very thing that makes us human—our ability to think. Linking Your Thinking offers a desperately needed reboot to our relationship with knowledge. First, you’ll learn how to stop taking notes and start making notes. You’ll replace the habit of passively collecting other people’s words, and uncover an easy methodology for documenting your own unique thoughts and ideas. Then, you’ll learn how to connect your notes to unleash creative breakthroughs, and in the process, build your own Ideaverse: a digital ecosystem of ideas. While the Internet serves our outer world, an ideaverse nourishes our inner world, helps us generate ideas, and increases our agency in a world of information consumption and cognitive overwhelm. Linking Your Thinking isn’t about the notes we take—it’s about the meaning we make. It’s for anyone who’s ever felt overwhelmed by their notes or their own ideas, but sensed the untapped potential within them. This book offers a proven process to transform information overwhelm into creative breakthroughs and actionable insights.
