Ever been to so many meetings that you couldn't get your work done? Ever fallen asleep during a bulletpoint presentation? Ever watched the news and ended up knowing less? Welcome to the land of Blah Blah Blah.The Problem: We talk so much that we don't think very well. Powerful as words are, we fool ourselves when we think our words alone can detect, describe, and defuse the multifaceted problems of today. They can't-and that's bad, because words have become our default thinking tool.The Solution: This book offers a way out of blah-blah-blah. It's called "Vivid Thinking."In Dan Roam's first acclaimed book, The Back of the Napkin, he taught readers how to solve problems and sell ideas by drawing simple pictures. Now he proves that Vivid Thinking is even more powerful. This technique combines our verbal and visual minds so that we can think and learn more quickly, teach and inspire our colleagues, and enjoy and share ideas in a whole new way.

你有没有参加过这么多会议，以致于你的工作无法完成？有没有在bulletpoint演示中睡着过？有没有看过新闻，结果知道的却少了？欢迎来到这片胡说八道的土地。问题是：我们说得太多，以至于我们的想法不太好。语言虽然强大，但当我们认为只有语言才能发现、描述和化解当今的多方面问题时，我们会愚弄自己。他们不能——这很糟糕，因为文字已经成为我们默认的思维工具。解决方法：这本书提供了一种摆脱这些废话的方法。在丹·罗姆的第一本广受好评的书《餐巾纸的背面》中，他教读者如何通过画简单的图片来解决问题和推销想法。现在他证明了生动的思维更强大。这项技术结合了我们的语言和视觉思维，使我们能够更快地思考和学习，教导和激励同事，以全新的方式享受和分享想法。
