Book Overview

While we often think of reflection as a way to consider what is or was, it can also be a powerful tool for imagining and shaping what could be. Drawing on the science, art, and practice of reflection, this book guides you through hands-on experiments that help you make meaning out of your experiences and support your goals and values.

Educator and scientist Leticia Britos Cavagnaro sets up each experiment with a hypothesis, a method, and guidance for gauging your results. You’ll build concrete skills, learn how to shift your mindsets, and strengthen your ability to reflect with purpose.

Experiments in Reflection helps you tune in to your environment, train your intuition, and shape the future.
