What glasses am I putting on?

What lenses am I putting on?

What timeframe am I thinking about?

How do I go and connect these things?

Danella Meadows, who taught at Dartmouth for a long period of time, was a famous thinker in the systems thinker space, were really bad.

as humans at being systems thinkers about thinking about second order effects and what do we have to do to be able to do this?

And then what happens?

And that's the sort of thing that someone who has high metacognition is able to do.

Good news, this is a trainable skill.

You can practice and get better at it by making sure that you get diverse stimuli.

You think about different things, you have different experiences and so on, but it's not something that we spend a lot of time talking about.

And the ones that really drive disruptive change are really good at doing it.

So let me illustrate it with a brief story.

Julia Child, who was one of the more fun chapters in the book and one I really didn't see coming when the research and writing started.

Julia Child, if you're asking your head, well, what exactly did she disrupt?

Well, you go back to the 1950s.

You live in America.

You want to enjoy a great French meal.

What do you do?

You probably don't have a restaurant in your local area.
