The "Six Thinking Hats" and Comforting Others

notably good and shareable this week

READ 📚 WATCH 👀 LISTEN 📻

Hope you had a fantastic week! Got some recent feedback that the Mixtape emails were too long. Trying a trimmed format this week. Let me know your thoughts. Happy Saturday!

Thinking Hack:

The "Six Thinking Hats" method, developed by Edward de Bono encourages individuals to think about a particular problem or situation from six different perspectives, represented by six different colored hats. The white hat represents objective and factual thinking, the red hat represents emotional and intuitive thinking, the black hat represents critical and negative thinking, the yellow hat represents positive and optimistic thinking, the green hat represents creative and innovative thinking, and the blue hat represents organizational and control thinking. By consciously switching between these different modes of thinking, individuals can more effectively explore a problem and generate more diverse and well-rounded solutions.

Every Friday (maybe Saturday) I email a mixtape along with a cocktail of articles, quotes, essays, videos, screenshots, and podcasts that I find notably good and shareable.

Have an awesome weekend!
