"...an engaging and enlightening account from which we all can benefit."—The Wall Street Journal A better way to combat knee-jerk biases and make smarter decisions, from Julia Galef, the acclaimed expert on rational decision-making. When it comes to what we believe, humans see what they want to see. In other words, we have what Julia Galef calls a "soldier" mindset. From tribalism and wishful thinking, to rationalizing in our personal lives and everything in between, we are driven to defend the ideas we most want to believe—and shoot down those we don't. But if we want to get things right more often, argues Galef, we should train ourselves to have a "scout" mindset. Unlike the soldier, a scout's goal isn't to defend one side over the other. It's to go out, survey the territory, and come back with as accurate a map as possible. Regardless of what they hope to be the case, above all, the scout wants to know what's actually true. In The Scout Mindset, Galef shows that what makes scouts better at getting things right isn't that they're smarter or more knowledgeable than everyone else. It's a handful of emotional skills, habits, and ways of looking at the world—which anyone can learn. With fascinating examples ranging from how to survive being stranded in the middle of the ocean, to how Jeff Bezos avoids overconfidence, to how superforecasters outperform CIA operatives, to Reddit threads and modern partisan politics, Galef explores why our brains deceive us and what we can do to change the way we think.
Scout Pioneering, Good Ol' Fashioned Outdoor Fun, is filled with all the information, illustrations, and instructions a unit needs to get an effective pioneering program off the ground and flourishing. Along with the author's first-hand experience as a Scout leader who has run successful pioneering programs in his own troop and at the Philmont Training Center, it draws upon the expertise of Scouting's most revered pioneering legends. Icing on the cake are over 250 pioneering-related photos bringing the text to life and capturing real Scouts in action, along with links to over 40 BSA-recognized how-to skill videos and Scout meeting activity videos. The Scout meeting activities are one of the book's highlights. Knowing how to present these involving pioneering challenges during troop meetings produces positive outcomes that are unparalleled in their capacity to engage Scouts while making fun happen! Another highlight of the book is the colorful section on camp gadgets. An array of these impressive campsite improvements was presented in the pioneering village at the national jamboree. It was fun to observe the jamboree participants' mouths open and sense their wheels turning, as youth and adult alike inspected them closely, asked questions, and took pictures in order to share the ideas with their troops back home. When John Thurman, camp chief at Gilwell for over twenty-five years, was asked, "Why pioneering?" His simple reply was, "To me the over-riding reason for presenting pioneering is that boys like it." Lord Baden-Powell, Scouting's founder wrote, "But there are reasons for pioneering other than the fact that boys like doing it. I am inclined to suggest to Scouters that in addition to the technical details of knotting, lashing, and anchorages, there is an educative value in pioneering since it gives elementary training in stresses, mensuration, etc., and it also develops initiative and resourcefulness. Additionally, it gives practice in team work and discipline. In other words, pioneering is practical and character building: the two essential ingredients of any program material for Scouts." A Scouting program consists of what Scouts DO! Providing a wide range of opportunities for fun, challenges, and personal growth, pioneering has all the qualities that keep Scouts involved and coming back for more. Amidst the wide spectrum of unique adventures available in Scouting, there's always an attraction to and fascination with what's termed, "old school." Pioneering is all about using timeless skills to get things done and have a great time.
