We refer to ourselves, after all, as Homo sapiens. But in a world where experiencing and achieving as much as possible is the number one preoccupation, there is little room for reflection. Technology is also making everything easier, eroding the need for us to think at all.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOf course deep, critical thinking can be difficult, sometimes painful, and it takes time. But it is fundamental to our well-being. In this new book, bestselling philosopher and psychologist Svend Brinkmann argues for a return to the thoughtful life, where we learn to think well, to think deeply, to lose ourselves in reverie and tune in to our inner voice. By spending time in our thoughts and letting them wander freely, we will discover that thinking is one of the most enriching things we can do in life - and one of the most human, too.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Polity Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/09\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781509559596\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200","brand":"Svend Brinkmann","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43433854369973,"sku":"9781509559596","price":12.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_d5677b2c-df4f-4918-b1e9-069769a3b81f.jpg?v=1703571033","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/think-in-defence-of-a-thoughtful-life-9781509559596","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
