Aiming thinking: decision -making according to the methods of British special services. Omand D.

From this book you will not learn how to dig out the dirty secrets of dictators, catch weapons or transport secret reports across the border. David Omand, in the past, a high -ranking employee of the British special services, talks about the main skill of the scout - to make correct decisions on the basis of limited, incomplete, and sometimes just inaccurate information. From his book you will learn what to do when you do not have time to check the facts, how to learn how to panic, not to fall into a stupor, correctly evaluate risks, ignore the theories of the conspiracy and bring liars and manipulators into clean water. The author’s method of working with information is based on the many years of experience of scouts and analysts of different countries, honed during events such as the warfare war or the Caribbean crisis. The individual chapters of the book are devoted to negotiating and establishing trust in various circumstances.

Still, ignorance is the most destructive poison for the mind. And the purpose of intellectual analysis: to eliminate such ignorance and the development of our ability to make reasonable decisions for the opportunity to make the best choice in everyday life.
