Introduction

I know, you might be wondering how there could be a fast way of thinking. What good is fast if it isn’t accurate? Besides, isn’t thinking something we do (or don’t do) every day without . . . uh . . . thinking about it?

Yes, and no.

Yes, you and I can’t help using our gray cells every day. Even the poor soul who seems to make every wrong choice possible still uses some level of reasoning. The thinking might be distorted, or brilliant, or just plain wrong. But as humans, we can’t help it. We all go through some type of reasoning process, whether deficient or robust, rash or plodding, to arrive at conclusions.

Okay, we need a process to ensure accurate decision making. But accurate without fast, in today’s hyper-fast age of social networking and information overload, is not enough. None of us can spare time to ploddingly analyze situations and decisions. We need to think, accurately, on the fly. That’s a tall order!

For some, fast and accurate execution of these skills seems impossible. But I assure you, this is not the case. You hold in your hand, at this very moment, a new way to look at something that may have seemed impossible just moments ago.
