Radical Thinking: How to see the bigger picture

Peter Lamont

• A highly entertaining and thought-provoking book on why we think what we think, and how to think differently

• In content, it shares ideas with books such as The Art of Thinking Clearly by Rolf Dobelli; but in approach it is very different – Radical Thinking instead enacts critical thinking, by taking the reader on a metaphorical and literal journey about how we perceive the world

• The academic article that partly inspired the book, published in 2020, is the most downloaded article in the History of Psychology’s 30-year history

• A former professional magician, Professor Peter Lamont is a Professor of Psychology at the University of Edinburgh, whose work has found fans as varied as Hilary Mantel, Simon Singh and Derren Brown
