Mastermind: How to Think Like Sherlock Holmes by Maria Konnikova

Mastermind: How to Think Like Sherlock Holmes by Maria Konnikova

Konnikova takes Conan Doyle's stories as a set of case studies in cognition and asks what the difference between Holmes and Watson actually is. Her answer is not intelligence but attention and method.

She builds it around the brain attic: what you choose to store, how you file it, and how you retrieve it. Then observation as an active skill, imagination as a necessary step before deduction, the danger of the first plausible story, and the discipline of deliberate practice. Every point is grounded in psychological research.

A New York Times bestseller, and a rare popular psychology book with genuinely practical exercises.
