Why Didn't I think of That? The Power of Diversity of Thought

A few years ago, I read this brilliant book called Rebel Ideas by Matthew Syed. This book examines the power of what Syed describes as ‘cognitive diversity’, basically a diverse range of thoughts, ideas and opinions, and it explains how in our complicated and modern world we cannot rely on individuals’ ideas, or just the thoughts of those similar to us. He argues that instead, the best organisations, teams and projects need a diverse range of knowledge, experience and ways of thinking to create a collective intelligence that overcomes the world’s most pressing challenges.

Why you're thinking about failure all wrong

Failure is inescapable, and the way we understand it and react to it can drastically change its impact on our lives. We can dread it, fear it and avoid it. Leaving us frozen and regretful, stopping us from fully living life, becoming who we want to be and achieving our goals. Or, we can embrace it, understanding it’s part of the process, and learn from it - letting it inspire and drive us towards greatness.

What is a gut feeling? How trustworthy are they?

Have you ever experienced that sinking feeling, a tightening in your stomach that just screams at you, saying, ‘something’s wrong here!’ Or have you ever been asked a question, or put in a situation where you have to make a decision, and instinctively you just know the answer or what you need to do? You don’t know where it’s come from, but something inside of you just gave you the answer and a good feeling about it? Those moments can be described as gut feelings; we all experience them, and when we understand them more, they can be one of the most useful tools we have as humans.

Is Napping good for you?

Napping is a surprisingly controversial topic. If you asked a random group of people whether they nap, I imagine you’d have a range of answers, layered with a range of convictions. If you look at the science, it’s mixed too. However, there does seem to be a type of nap that proves to be the best.

How well do you listen?

Listening is a skill. It’s something we all do, but it doesn’t mean it’s something we are all good at. When we are listened to, it creates a connection and helps us to feel seen and heard, things that as humans, we all crave.

Why Multitasking is a Myth

For years, we’ve been sold the idea that we can multitask, doing two or more things at once to improve our productivity or simply to enjoy more things at once. The problem is, we’ve been sold a lie. Humans can’t multitask. If you’d like to read this, instead of listening to it, you can find a written version here. Get full access to Learned-ish at learnedish.substack.com/subscribe
