Of Flat Earth and Protein Mania, Decoding Our Labyrinth of Biases (en Inglés) - Sze Tiong Soh

Leadership begins in the architecture of the mind.

In this compelling follow-up to Staying H.I.R.E.d The Cultural Kingmaker's Guide to Building Work Oasis, the focus shifts from cultural leadership to the internal architecture of thought. Our professional and personal lives are often steered by subconscious biases that nudge us toward illogical, irrational, and divisive conclusions.

Through the essays in Of Flat Earth and Protein Mania, readers step into the labyrinth of the human psyche to examine the mental wiring that shapes how we see the world. Drawing on Hannah Arendt's insight that we discover ourselves most clearly in the mirror of community, the book presents a series of reflective essays centred on real-world incidents. Each essay becomes a shared exercise in self-inquiry: examining others' cognitive pitfalls while recognising the same tendencies within ourselves.

Whether you are a leader seeking better judgment or a professional striving to collaborate more creatively, this book offers a path to stronger metacognition-enabling clearer thinking, more thoughtful responses to complexity, and deeper professional relationships built on shared self-awareness.
