- Transformative ideas, concepts, and research brought together to train exceptional thinkers

- A rare peek into a visionary interdisciplinary initiative in the making, from a new and innovative program at the Postgraduate School of Thinking at the Vrije Universiteit Brussels

The greatest challenge we face in dealing with the complexity of our world? To think again and to think better. In a world that challenges us with ever more complicated problems, the quality of our thinking is a critical game-changer. As individuals, organizations, societies, and cultures, we need to cultivate thinking that is both insightful and farsighted. We must learn how to mobilize and apply intelligence that goes beyond the ordinary - one that continuously exceeds its own limits. The Postgraduate School of Thinking, at the Vrije Universiteit in Brussels (VUB), is an experimental program with the mission of challenging us all to achieve just that. Deploying an innovative combination of mobilization methods, the program sets out to define the cognitive strategies, practices, and habits that are the marks of exceptional thinkers. This book features a variety of interdisciplinary research articles and discussions that invite us to explore our capacity for extraordinary thinking.
