We Don't Have a Learning Crisis — We Have a Thinking Crisis. Here's the Difference.
About this episode
More information is available to us right now than any generation in human history. And we are thinking less clearly, less deeply, and less curiously than ever before. That is not a coincidence. Katie Trowbridge has spent her career as an educator, bestselling author, and TEDx speaker studying exactly what is happening to our capacity for deep thought — in schools, in workplaces, and in daily life. What she has found is that access to information was never the bottleneck. Thinking was. And the conditions that produce genuine curiosity, critical thinking, and creative problem-solving are being systematically removed from the environments where we spend most of our time. What her CREATE Method rebuilds — and why psychological safety is the foundation underneath all of it — will change how you think about thinking itself.
You’ll learn:
• Why Katie says we’re facing a thinking crisis, not just a learning crisis
• Why more information does not automatically create better thinking
• How curiosity supports learning, creativity, and connection
• What shuts down critical thinking in schools, teams, and relationships
• How psychological safety helps people share ideas and take healthy risks
• Practical ways to strengthen deep thinking and ask better questions
• How Katie’s CREATE Method helps people become more thoughtful, engaged, and innovative
