So assuming someone wants to learn to think differently, what would be their first step?
My suggestion doesn't matter. You should make a decision based on who is around you. Do you know somebody who is a fan of a particular strategy? Could you talk regularly with this person? Better yet, could you do a project with this person? By far the best way to learn something is to work with an expert in it. You should pick a method based on people who you know. One expert is all it takes, but you need one. The best situation is where you work regularly with the expert on a project, even if it is only every Thursday night. It would be almost as good if you would work on the project on your own but bring examples to the expert when you have lunch twice a week. It is possible to learn to think differently on your own, but it takes a long time to learn this spirit unless you interact with others.
