The 5 Elements of Effective Thinking

The 5 Elements of Effective Thinking by Burger and Starbird. https://press.princeton.edu/books/hardcover/9780691156668/th... (https://press.princeton.edu/books/hardcover/9780691156668/the-5-elements-of-effective-thinking) Defies categorization, difficult to summarize. A tutorial for effective and fulfilling learning, grappling with challenging intellectual problems, and for cultivating creativity. It’s easy to read it superficially. The authors recommend reading it three times through. I read it again with first semester college students every fall. In actual fact, returning to it always reveals more insights (at least for me). Most students roll their eyes and miss the value. But every year students come back and tell me that it changed the way they think when they got to college. I’ve gotten some colleagues hooked on it too.
