Effort is addition. Premises are multiplication.
Once, someone pointed to a yellow poster on a wall and said, "I want to work with people who see the same yellow."
Why do people looking at the same situation reach completely different conclusions? The answer may lie not in opinions, but in the structures before judgment - the premises we never question, the granularity at which we carve the world, the frames we forget we chose.
In seven chapters and ninety-one fragments, this book maps the invisible architecture of perception. Not to tell you what to think, but to show you where thinking begins.
For readers of Alain de Botton, Rolf Dobelli, and Sarah Manguso.
