The Thinking Life

How to Thrive in the Age of Distraction

P. M. Forni,

About this book

"An eloquent introduction on how to lead a more conscientious, thoughtful life." —#1 New York Times– bestselling author Ben Casnocha

How do we turn off the noise of daily life, turn on our brains, and begin to engage in that fundamental human activity known as thinking again? P.M. Forni, America's civility expert has given some thought to how we can successfully think our way through a greatly distracting world and live a better life.

In The Thinking Life, he looks at the importance of thinking: how we do it, why we don't do it enough and why we need to do more of it. In twelve short chapters, he gives readers a remedy for the Age of Distraction, an age fuelled by social networking overload, compulsive texting and an omnipresent stream of cellphone calls. He shows how to put aside time each day to improve:

Attention
Introspection
Self-control
Positive thinking
Proactive thinking
Decision making
Creative thinking
Problem solving

Just as Forni did with civility, he puts the importance of good thinking front and center in a book as lucid and profound as his earlier works.

"The most provocative and useful book I've read in years." —Robert Sutton, New York Times –bestselling author of The No Asshole Rule

"Urgently needed and compellingly readable, this wise, life-altering little book will be my gift to everyone I know." —Katrina Kenison, author of The Gift of an Ordinary Day
