The author tells how you can regain the sharpness and clarity of perception of reality, how to learn to look and see, formulate problems and solve them.
Have you noticed that we easily remember literally everything that is related to our childhood? The smell of mother’s perfume, the color of the tiles in the entrance, the plates in the kindergarten and the feeling of a notebook sheet under the fingers … And we don’t remember what yesterday’s meeting was about. The reason is that with age we automatically block our own susceptibility, observation and attentiveness, says American psychologist Maria Konnikova. She analyzes the plots of stories about Sherlock Holmes using the methods of modern psychology and neuroscience, and explains how to regain the sharpness and clarity of perception of reality, how to learn to look and see, formulate problems and solve them.
