Synopsis

Unlock your students' potential with Smart Thinking, a step-by-step guide to generating ideas, thinking creatively and conceptually and making decisions. The book begins by explaining what smart thinking is and how it develops the skills that today's employers covet. Part 1 unwraps the mysteries of conceptual thinking, with chapters on how to create new concepts and analyse existing ones, while Part 2 shows students how to release their creative potential and devise original solutions to complex problems. Finally, Part 3 shows students how to assess their ideas and solutions and come to a rational, objective decision. Chapters are packed with examples, top tips and `try this' activities for students to put their thinking skills to the test.

Smart Thinking will be an indispensable companion for students of all levels and disciplines who want to sharpen their thinking and improve the way they study.

Book Overview: It will likely appeal to the strategically-oriented / instrumental student through its regular linkage to employers' psychometric tests. It sidesteps all the gobbledegook and baggage of 'Critical Thinking', and presents the concept as something anyone can and does do - 'Critical Thinking' so often seems to divorce / annoy / mystify students .' - Nick Endacott, head of study skills at Middlesex University, UK 'The three-part structure is very clear and the chapter headings are worded in the most student-friendly and practical style possible. Each part follows a similar pattern that is highly appropriate, beginning with the 'what . .? ' and ending with two excellent sections that make clear to students how the chapter contents will improve their academic work and their employability.' - Jeanne Godfrey, bestselling study skills author

Media Reviews
'I think every single student should have a copy of this book. The majority of university courses lack a 'how to think smarter' module which would go a long way in helping students fine-tune their thinking skills for higher education.' - Michael Tefula, recent graduate and author of How to Get a First and Student Procrastination
