N2  - We all have the ability to think conceptually and creatively, but for many of us this potential lies untapped. This book shows how to generate your own original ideas, create new concepts, assess risk, solve problems and make balanced decisions. Above all, it shows how to truly think for yourself; Unlock your students' potential with Smart Thinking, a step-by-step guide to generating ideas, thinking creatively and conceptually and making decisions. The book begins by explaining what smart thinking is and how it develops the skills that today's employers covet. Part 1 unwraps the mysteries of conceptual thinking, with chapters on how to create new concepts and analyse existing ones, while Part 2 shows students how to release their creative potential and devise original solutions to complex problems. Finally, Part 3 shows students how to assess their ideas and solutions and come to a rational, objective decision. Chapters are packed with examples, top tips and `try this' activities for students to put their thinking skills to the test. Smart Thinking will be an indispensable companion for students of all levels and disciplines who want to sharpen their thinking and improve the way they study
