They not only provide new knowledge but, more importantly, give us a chance to rethink, deepening our understanding of knowledge, wisdom, and even the world. The joy of discovery, thinking, and creation has never abandoned us—only that we often forget to awaken them. In most people's minds, pursuing knowledge and wisdom seems to require effort and lack of fun. The story of "hanging the head from the beam and piercing the thigh with a needle" encourages us that only through hardship can one become superior. As a result, learning is seen as an arduous and unpleasant task in our hearts. We have learned some knowledge (more or less), yet in the process, we have lost our love for knowledge and the ability to use and enjoy it. Is this an inevitable price? In fact, the joy of discovery, thinking, and creation has never abandoned us—only that we often forget to awaken them. Reading this book is a challenging journey. We will gain many discoveries and knowledge. These games will not only help you rediscover the joy of thinking and establish a unique personal style but, more importantly, they may inspire you to discover unnoticed cognitive biases and flawed understandings. They not only provide new knowledge but, more importantly, give us a chance to rethink, deepening our understanding of knowledge, wisdom, and even the world.
