Features: In the perception of most people, pursuing knowledge and wisdom should be a task that is not easy and lacks fun. The story of "hanging the head from the beam and piercing the thigh with a needle" encourages us that only through enduring hardships can one become superior. As a result, in our hearts, learning seems to be an overwhelming task, an unpleasant process. We have acquired some knowledge (more or less), but in the process, we have lost the love for knowledge that we should have, as well as 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—it's just that we often forget to awaken them. Reading this book is a challenging journey. We will gain many discoveries and knowledge. These games not only help you rediscover the joy of thinking and establish a unique personal style but, more importantly, they may inspire you to realize unnoticed cognitive biases and flawed misunderstandings. They not only provide new insights but, more importantly, give us a chance to rethink, deepening our understanding of knowledge, wisdom, and even the world.
