Life can feel overwhelming. With so many new technologies and ways of doing things, knowing what to pay attention to can be difficult.
In How to Think Like Shakespeare, professor Scott Newstok writes about what people of the past have already learned about better thinking and applying incentives. The main lesson is that even new problems are tied to wisdom and insight from ideas that are hundreds of years old.

We get better at thinking when we put our knowledge into practice. Doing and thinking work together. You learn something, and then you use that information to do something. The result is that you learn something new. It is a powerful feedback loop.
Better thinking takes strength. You have to be able to switch off to the noise around you and walk away from distractions. You also need strength to face the results and find better ways to do something.

The wrong incentives can reduce our motivation to reach a goal.
In the American education system, the incentive is passing tests. That will lead to higher education and being validated as a person who knows things. But the continual assessment pressure is wasting precious classroom hours because we don't know what we will need to know in the future. Shakespeare's 'useless' Latin drills prepared him for a job that didn't exist yet.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
