What is the Difference Between Divergent and Convergent Thinking?

“Divergent thinking is the process of coming up with new ideas and possibilities—without judgment, without analysis, without discussion. It is the type of thinking that allows you to free-associate, to ‘go big’ and to discuss possible new ways to solve difficult challenges that have no single/right/known answer,”

Think about a brainstorming session, where you sit down to discuss what company problem needs to be solved next. People are throwing out all sorts of suggestions—even ones you know at first glance are unfeasible. That’s divergent thinking. You’re spitballing ideas without any rules or restrictions.

Now that you have that long list of lofty ambitions, what happens next? In an ideal world, it’s convergent thinking.

Episódio 13 - Como ser mais gentil com um brasileiro

Jag pratar om skönhetsingrepp och anledningen till att det har blivit mer populärt att utföra. Det har blivit mycket vanligare och i Australien är det ganska vanligt att kvinnor sprutar in botox för att motverka att rynkor uppstår. Jag pratar också om att vara kvinna och att åldras.
