It teaches how to uncover creative solutions. It examines the importance of understanding how our minds work, provides strategies on how to access different states of attention and emphasizes the value of considering open attention as beneficial.

The book also offers comprehensive advice on relationships. Readers become more empathetic when they learn to think with people who think differently than them.
Overall, Collaborative Intelligence: Thinking with People Who Think Differently is an informative read filled with practical tips on how to tap into cognitive potentials to discover new solutions in the office and in interpersonal relationships.
