#349 Tom Chatfield: How To Think (& Make Sense Of The World)

Dr Tom Chatfield is a writer, broadcaster and tech philosopher. He is a columnist for the BBC and TED Global speaker, he has worked as a writer and consultant with some of the world's leading technology firms. His books exploring digital culture have been published in over two dozen languages. I first read Tom’s work when his book <a href="https://uk.bookshop.org/a/153/9781447202318" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">How To Thrive In the Digital Age</a> published by The School Of Life back in 2012 and have followed his work ever since. His latest non-fiction book, <a href="https://uk.bookshop.org/a/153/9781473947146" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Critical Thinking</a>, is a bestselling textbook in its field; and he’s back with a new textbook called How to Think which I thoroughly enjoyed and we discuss in this episode. (The Oliver Burkeman article we discuss: https://www.oliverburkeman.com/so/14NZw7Z67?languageTag=en&amp;cid=51b6978e-c2af-4d65-a12e-82fc8941cc96#/main) Order Tom’s book How To Think here: https://uk.bookshop.org/a/153/9781529727418 Hosted on Acast.

Ctrl Alt Delete subverts the traditional career show. Instead, it's for people who are more interested in shaping their work rather than letting their work shape them. The main focus is work, wellbeing and creativity. Hosted by bestselling author Emma Gannon, she has a gentle line of questioning that starts with work, and ends up wherever the conversations lead. Named Best Business podcast by Vuelio, Webby award nominee and named 50 Best Podcasts by Sunday Times, Ctrl Alt Delete is a gateway into new ideas – with past guests varying far and wide including Elizabeth Gilbert, Reni Eddo-Lodge, Jacqueline Wilson, Lena Dunham, Julia Cameron, Priyanka Chopra-Jonas, Ava DuVernay, Gillian Anderson and Mrs Hinch.
