Thinking Better: The Art of the Shortcut in Math and Life
BY Marcus du Sautoy
Summary
In Thinking Better: The Art of the Shortcut in Math and Life, Oxford mathematician Marcus du Sautoy argues that true problem-solving and success come not from brute-force hard work, but from finding clever shortcuts. Du Sautoy demonstrates how mathematical principles—ranging from geometry and probability to calculus—serve as the ultimate time-saving tools, allowing us to solve complex tasks efficiently so we can focus on bigger challenges. Blending history, science, psychology, and real-world anecdotes from artists and entrepreneurs, the book celebrates human ingenuity and explains how strategic thinking gives us a distinct cognitive edge over raw repetition and artificial intelligence.
