Summary:"To some extent this book isn't about how to think at all. Many of the Rules are about how to remove the barriers that get in the way of good, clear thinking. How to avoid self-interest, sidestep assumption, dodge the pitfalls. Once you do that, it's easy to think clearly. It would be implausibly convenient if there just happened to be exactly 100 Rules of Thinking. So these are the key 100, which are more than enough to change your thought patterns significantly for the better. Once you've mastered these Rules, you'll be much better placed to notice more of your own. Please feel free to share them on my Facebook page if you'd like to, and help other people join you as a fully-fledged Rules thinker"--
