In 'Thinking Better', Marcus du Sautoy invites us to reconsider our aversion to shortcuts, arguing that, in the field of mathematics and problem-solving, a shortcut can be the most efficient and creative solution. Through historical and contemporary examples, the author demonstrates how the ability to find innovative approaches distinguishes us from machines and is essential for facing everyday challenges. This entertaining and illuminating book teaches us to value the art of the shortcut as a fundamental tool for strategic thinking and problem-solving.
