Présentation de l'éditeur
What does it take to re–think anything in your life? Sometimes nothing short of turning your whole world upside down. Slow down your thinking for a moment. What is your brain doing? Almost certainly trying to come up with a single right answer because then you can stop thinking about the problem. All too often we are not really thinking, but sleepwalking through life. Fresh angles on familiar problems elude us. Re–thinking is the opposite: it means seeing better or different solutions. In other words, thinking as unusual. Rethink shows you why and how.
What if today you were to . . . Buy a new newspaper? Take a different route home? Say ‘yes’ to everything your partner asks? Invent new rituals for your family? Surround yourself with beauty? Try a first take at the creative fantasy sleeping in the attic of your mind? Find a new hero? Discover more about your upbringing? Act as if anything were possible rather than yes–butting the new?
You’d be a re–thinker. Why not? There’s always a better or different solution to the way you lead your personal or professional life. Rethink will help you to stop living on autopilot and reawaken your sense of wonder, curiosity, and creativity.

Quatrième de couverture
It′s thinking as unusual. Seeing a fresh, different, or better solution to any problem, whether you want to reorganize your life′s priorities, become closer to your partner, or dream up a new idea at work.
Are–think can apply to pretty much anything in your life...
Re–think explains how Bob Dylan, a siesta, a parrot, children, and many other things can help you to creatively re–think.
We can all sleepwalk our way through life, and find after a short time in a job or a relationship that we′ve simply gone blind to the possibilities around us. Opening our minds and developing a childlike sense of curiosity is what re–think is all about. It will help you break out of blinkered, habitual patterns of thought to become the creator of a richer life youself. It will also help you unlearn what you have learnt, which will sometimes mean breaking the habit of lifetime.
Being creative is not just the reserve of the Einsteins, da Vincis and Richard Bransons of the world. You, too, can be just as inspired.
