About this listen

Bloomsbury presents Smart Thinking: How to live, think and work even better by Jo Owen read by Olivia Dowd

A clear and practical review of the 50 most common thinking challenges everyone faces from day to day, with a full guide to the most accessible and practical solutions.

Many of us find ourselves facing difficult work situations, day after day - often as a result of existing patterns of behaviour - or at the mercy of negative and intrusive thoughts. But such cycles can be broken, allowing you to approach problems and challenges in a more robust and sustainable way. Smart Thinking focuses on common thinking challenges we all face from time to time, both rational (such as problem-solving) and emotional (mental health issues, for example), while also offering an array of practical and realistic solutions. It explains the problems and highlights the best options to resolve them, while encouraging you to look differently at the circumstances around you, and then to develop new, and permanent, ways of tackling any challenges.

From getting the best out of others, to thinking more creatively about financial problems (even without maths skills), Jo Owen tackles 50 of the most common 'thinking' challenges that can derail the best-laid plans and intentions. Be more decisive in the face of uncertainty, make better decisions for you and your colleagues, and tackle any of the unexpected problems that our busy work lives can throw at us, with Smart Thinking.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Critic Reviews

'Smart Thinking is a treasure. His observations and experiences are born from a career and life of risk taking, being hungry for growth and learning, and Jo is driven to share as all great leaders are. I will return to this book often.' (Andrew G Smith)

'A tremendous reference for those seeking to navigate, not just survive. So much thoughtful perspective and useable advice. Smart Thinking gives the reader the strength to climb, the calm to descend, the patience to start again, and the hope to arrive. It bestows the balance to live our life.' (Andra Mocanu)

'The resource you need to live better and smarter is somewhere between the covers of this book.' (John Malitoris)

'Smart Thinking offers insights to help create optimistic, brave spaces essential for lifelong learners in the digital age.' (Shadab Ahmed)
