Reviews
‘Bold, provocative, and engaging. Moldoveanu and Martin challenge us to tap one of the most powerful sources of advantage in business – thinking (and thinking about thinking) – more effectively.’
Martin Reeves, Managing Director, Boston Consulting Group; Director, BCG Strategy Institute:
‘An insightful and pragmatic treatise and guide … the necessity and art of “thinking about thinking while thinking,” from two masters of heuristics. A must-read for all students and practitioners of problem solving in business and beyond.’
Jeffrey Pfeffer, Professor, Stanford Business School; author of 'What Were They Thinking? Unconventional Wisdom About Management':
‘Diaminds challenges readers to ask profound questions about thinking, personal meaning and purpose, and their relationship to successful leadership. Clearly written with astonishing intellectual range and reporting on insightful research on senior organizational leaders, this book offers not a recipe or checklist for success but something much more important: a way of improving each reader’s effectiveness as a problem-solver.’
Nitin Nohria, Richard P. Chapman Professor, Harvard Business School; co-author of 'In Their Time: The Greatest Business Leaders of the Twentieth Century':
‘A sizzling foray into the habits of the minds of the best thinkers and leaders. Your own mind will not remain unscathed once you read this book: It will force you to rethink how you think!’
