A lively and engaging guide to vital habits of mind that can help
you think more deeply, write more effectively, and learn more
joyfully How to Think like Shakespeare is a brilliantly fun
exploration of the craft of thought-one that demonstrates what
we've lost in education today, and how we might begin to recover
it. In fourteen brief chapters that draw from Shakespeare's world
and works, and from other writers past and present, Scott Newstok
distills enduring practices that can make learning more creative
and pleasurable. Challenging a host of today's questionable notions
about education, Newstok shows how mental play emerges through
work, creativity through imitation, autonomy through tradition,
innovation through constraint, and freedom through discipline. It
was these practices, and a conversation with the past-not a
fruitless obsession with assessment-that nurtured a mind like
Shakespeare's. And while few of us can hope to approach the genius
of the Bard, we can all learn from the exercises that shaped him.
Written in a friendly, conversational tone and brimming with
insights, How to Think like Shakespeare enacts the thrill of
thinking on every page, reviving timeless-and timely-ways to
stretch your mind and hone your words.
