SUMMARY:Radical Thinking: how to see the bigger picture
DESCRIPTION:Professor Peter Lamont (author\, historian\, psychologist\, former magician) reveals the things that shape your thoughts. He shows how\, by thinking in a radical way\, you can look beyond your limited view of the world to see the bigger picture. The talk\, based on his recent book Radical Thinking\, includes live demonstrations.\n\nPeter Lamont is Professor of History and Theory of Psychology at the University of Edinburgh\, and a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy. Before that\, he worked as a magician. He has published six books\, and many articles\, on a variety of curious topics such as magic\, belief\, wonder and critical thinking. His popular books have been highly praised by a diverse range of folk\, from Derren Brown and Teller (of Penn and Teller) to A. L. Kennedy and Hilary Mantel.\n\nAttendance is free. No ticket is required. We operate on a first come first served basis. It’s relatively rare that we fill up the function room\, but please be aware that if things are looking busy\, the earlier you get there the less chance there is of not getting in.\n\nAlthough the event is free\, we will be asking for donations at the end of the talk. Participants are under no obligation whatsoever to donate\, however please rest assured that the money we collect doesn’t end up in anyone’s pocket – it is used to fund our overhead costs\, and travel/accommodation for our speakers who come from further afield.\n\nAccessibility: The Admiral Woods Bar now has a functioning lift which can take wheelchair users (or others who are unable to manage stairs) down to the function room. There is also a disabled toilet in the function room area.\n
