If you think impossible thoughts, you can do impossible things! That's the message of this book. But how do you do it? The Power of Impossible Thinking is about getting better at making sense of what's going on around you so you can make decisions that respond to reality, not inaccurate or obsolete models of the world. Now in paperback for the first time, this bestseller reveals how your mental models stand between you and the truth and how to transform them into your biggest advantage! You'll learn how to develop new ways of seeing, when to change to a new model, how to swap amongst a portfolio of models, how to "zoom in and out " to understand complex environments and how to do "mind R and D, " improving your models through constant experimentation. Jerry Wind and Colin Crook review why it's so hard to change mental models and offer practical strategies for dismantling the "hardened missile silos " that are your old and obsolete models.
