ABSTRACT
M. Scott Peck, respected psychiatrist and bestselling author of The Road Less Travelled, writes in The Road Less Travelled and Beyond (1997) that one of the biggest problems in the world today is people not thinking well:
One of the major dilemmas we face both as individuals and as a society is simplistic thinking – or the failure to think at all. It isn’t just a problem, it is the problem… Thinking well is more urgent now – perhaps more urgent than anything else – because it is the means by which we consider, decide and act upon everything in our increasingly complex world… If we are to think well, we must be on guard against simplistic thinking in our approach to analysing crucial issues and solving the problems of life.
