It was translated into many languages \u200b\u200band received rave reviews. The author Rolf Dobelli is an atypical European celebrity with profound knowledge, wide social connections and keen observation of social phenomena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I first saw it in a bookstore ten years ago, I read it that afternoon and was so impressed. I read it again recently and felt that the main message of this book is really worth recommending to everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-custom ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #ffffff;color:#ffffff\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #ffffff;color:#ffffff\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.granitefirm.com\/blog\/us\/2025\/05\/07\/die-kunst-des-klaren-denkens\/#Origin_of_this_book\" >Origin of this book<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.granitefirm.com\/blog\/us\/2025\/05\/07\/die-kunst-des-klaren-denkens\/#Why_I_recommend_this_book\" >Why I recommend this book?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.granitefirm.com\/blog\/us\/2025\/05\/07\/die-kunst-des-klaren-denkens\/#What_can_you_get_from_this_book\" >What can you get from this book?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.granitefirm.com\/blog\/us\/2025\/05\/07\/die-kunst-des-klaren-denkens\/#Closing_words\" >Closing words<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.granitefirm.com\/blog\/us\/2025\/05\/07\/die-kunst-des-klaren-denkens\/#Related_articles\" >Related articles<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Origin_of_this_book\"><\/span>Origin of this book<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The content is a compilation of the author&#8217;s speeches at regular gatherings with a group of friends including bankers, academics, doctors, and businessmen. It is very practical, realistic, lively, and persuasive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, this book is the first published book in a series of books by the author. The contents of the other books are also good and worth reading; but I personally recommend that you read this one first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_I_recommend_this_book\"><\/span>Why I recommend this book?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In fact, it is a psychology book, but reading it will never make you feel boring and tedious like a textbook or dogmatic. It will make you want to finish the book as soon as possible. The author&#8217;s writing style is really good and the content is solid. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If readers carefully savor the key points discussed in the book, they will find that they can be applied to our daily life, work, investment, and life without any subtleties.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The author uses countless examples in the book, which are all from our daily lives, from what we have believed since childhood, from what everyone thinks is right, from what seems to be right, from what is called social rules or &#8220;facts&#8221;, or from what is said to be wrong. It is a fallacy that is regarded as truth &#8211; but most people just can&#8217;t get rid of it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You will suddenly understand how politicians, brainwashing articles, commercial advertisements, and mass movements work.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_can_you_get_from_this_book\"><\/span>What can you get from this book?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It turns out that our lives are full of wisdom, and everywhere are topics that we have never imagined or thought about. Learn to get inspiration from the little things in life and the things around us in our daily lives. Trigger your heart and brain, start your thinking. You will find that life is indeed full of things that you have forgotten or ignored before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you are enlightened by this book, your perspective on things will be changed. If you don\u2019t have this feeling after reading this book, I suggest you read it again after a while.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Closing_words\"><\/span>Closing words<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&#8217;t just follow the crowd. Truth is not verified by voting or by the strength of the crowd numbers. Learning to think independently is the first step to liberating your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"90\" height=\"138\" src=\"https:\/\/www.granitefirm.com\/blog\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/01\/\u601d\u8003\u7684\u85dd\u8853-Custom.jpg\" alt=\"Die Kunst des klaren Denkens\" class=\"wp-image-33229\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">credit: amazon.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Related_articles\"><\/span>Related articles<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.granitefirm.com\/blog\/us\/2025\/05\/23\/the-fog-of-war\/\">&#8220;The Fog of War&#8221;<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.granitefirm.com\/blog\/us\/2025\/08\/08\/jose-mujica-cordanno\/\">Jose Mujica Cordanno, a great president worth remembering<\/a>&#8220;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.granitefirm.com\/blog\/us\/2025\/07\/04\/tools-of-titans\/\">&#8220;Tools of Titans&#8221;<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.granitefirm.com\/blog\/us\/2025\/05\/07\/die-kunst-des-klaren-denkens\/\">&#8220;Die Kunst des klaren Denkens&#8221;<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.granitefirm.com\/blog\/us\/2022\/08\/25\/richer-wiser-happier\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Richer, Wiser, Happier<\/a>&#8220;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.granitefirm.com\/blog\/us\/2023\/11\/13\/the-millionaire-fastlane\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Unconventional &#8220;The Millionaire Fastlane&#8221;<\/a>&#8220;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.granitefirm.com\/blog\/us\/2021\/05\/30\/secrets-of-the-millionaire-mind\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Secrets of the Millionaire Mind<\/a>&#8220;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.granitefirm.com\/blog\/us\/2023\/08\/27\/love-your-job-reputation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Protect your reputation and love your job<\/a>&#8220;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.granitefirm.com\/blog\/us\/2024\/08\/15\/dream-big-and-win\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">You can &#8220;Dream big and Win&#8221; also<\/a>&#8220;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.granitefirm.com\/blog\/us\/2021\/05\/27\/rich-dad-poor-dad\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Rich dad, poor dad<\/a>&#8220;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.granitefirm.com\/blog\/us\/2022\/12\/01\/psychology-of-money\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Psychology of Money<\/a>&#8220;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.granitefirm.com\/blog\/us\/2022\/04\/25\/the-almanack-of-naval-ravikant\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">An excellent book for career and life- The Almanack of Naval Ravikant<\/a>&#8220;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.granitefirm.com\/blog\/us\/2024\/02\/15\/paul-gettys-how-to-be-rich\/\">Paul Getty&#8217;s &#8220;How to be rich&#8221;, by the world&#8217;s richest man in the mid-20th century<\/a>&#8220;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Disclaimer<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>The content of this site is the author\u2019s personal opinions and is for reference only.
