Lamont, a former magician, invites readers on an intriguing journey of discovery. Rather than prescribing a rigid set of guidelines for accurate thinking, he advocates for curiosity and a novel perspective.

The book examines the various factors that shape our thoughts, including observations, interpretations, assumptions, beliefs, and desires. Lamont that adopting radical thinking can help us transcend our limited viewpoints, enabling us to grasp the bigger picture. The goal is not about being right or wrong but about broadening our worldview.

The book delves into insights derived from the local area, quirky historical anecdotes, and even references to Sherlock Holmes, demonstrating how our perspectives construct our reality.

In an era flooded with conflicting truths, Lamont argues that radical thinking equips us to make sense of the chaos. For those who approach the world with curiosity and an open mind, "Radical Thinking: How to See the Bigger Picture" promises to transform their understanding of reality.

Lamont is a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy and a member of the British Psychological Society. He also has intriguing affiliations, such as being an Associate of the Inner Magic Circle and a former President of the Edinburgh Magic Circle. Oh, and there’s the mysterious Edinburgh Secret Society, but we can’t say much about that!

Professor Peter Lamont seamlessly weaves together psychology, history, magic, and mystery—a true intellectual conjurer! Come and see for yourself on Thursday 18 July at Blackwell’s Bookshop in Edinburgh. But do hurry and get your ticket before they disappear!   

Will change how you see the world
