"Friends, a summary wish to everyone here for 2014: the preservation of
your most important attribute and the most significant and most
threatened human asset, MENTAL CLARITY".-Nassim Nicholas Taleb.
To be smarter and develop mental clarity we should be able to develop an simple thought process that is aligned to our values and ingrained character. Any changes to habitual thinking that has been developed since our childhood, upbringing and education will not be successful. we need to be careful and analyses whether we are capable of carrying such an structural change in our thought process. Any cosmetic changes can improve our self awareness but it needs to followed by an conscious change in our behavior.
Some actions that are likely to improve our mental clarity
1. Speaking slowly-Allowing the mind to keep in control.
2. Develop second level thinking.
3. Develop practical approach to problem solving.
4. Visual thoughts-Imagining all possibe action in mind to last possible option vividly.
5. "invert, always invert" Charlie Munger
