Trial, Error, and Success: 10 Insights into Realistic Knowledge, Thinking, and Emotional Intelligence

Everything in nature evolves by trial, error, and success. At the fundamental level, this means that the rigid laws of physics don't rule nature. At the level of your thinking, this means that no established one-size-fits-all science should inhibit your free-will decisions to try, fail, and succeed. As a guide to success by strategic decision making, this book will support your skeptical thinking and propensity for prudent use of expert advice. Presenting real-life examples, the thinking in the book combines sharp analyses with broad analogies to show: How to identify realistic knowledge and avoid harm due to overgeneralized concepts. How to solve problems and create new knowledge by trial-and-error thinking. How to reduce personal risk and maximize benefits by collective application of the trial-and-error process. Read this book to learn things that our formal education shuns. That way, you'll be better prepared for the unexpected, less likely to conform when you shouldn't, more creative, and more likely to learn from both failures and successes of others. You'll see why machine learning and automatic actions cannot replace human intelligence and free-will decisions.
