Adventures in Thinking follows Emily Maroutian's previous philosophical books, A Second Opinion and The Process of I. In the same vein, it delves into the process of the human mind and how we create, contribute, and ultimately change our experiences and the world around us through the power of our thinking. The first part of the book explores the personal mind and how it becomes limited through conditioned thinking and unconscious patterns of behavior. Our repeated thoughts lead to repeated behavior, which result in repeated experiences. The personal mind creates individual and global conflicts through its unrelenting need for mental security. It bypasses the truth for comfort, denying the possibility for solutions by denying its involvement in the creation of problems. This mind-frame narrows our experiences only to the familiar and safe, which significantly limits our possibilities in life. The second part of the book proposes the notion that we benefit the most from diversity, curiosity, mindfulness, and keeping an open mind. By sharing our unique perspectives with others and allowing others to contribute to our mental growth, we are then open to solutions we haven't considered. An open and aware mind leads to a deeper connection, an adventurous life, and to solution-oriented thinking. We cannot enact real change until we first change our minds.

'One of today's most readable, intellectually nimble and scientifically literate philosophers' Nature 'Who would have guessed that a philosopher's life could be so full of adventures?' Daniel C. Dennett, philosopher and cognitive scientist, has spent his career considering consciousness. I've Been Thinking traces the development of Dennett's own intellect and instructs us how we too can become good thinkers. Dennett's restless curiosity leads him from his childhood in Beirut to Harvard, and from Parisian jazz clubs to 'tillosophy' on his tractor in Maine. Along the way, he encounters and debates with a host of legendary thinkers, and reveals the breakthroughs and misjudgments that shaped his paradigm-shifting philosophies. Thinking, Dennett argues, is hard, and risky. In fact, all good philosophical thinking is inevitably accompanied by bafflement, frustration and self-doubt. It is only in getting it wrong that we, very occasionally, find a way to get it right. This memoir by one of the greatest philosophers of our time will speak to anyone who seeks a life of the mind with adventure and creativity.
