Stanford Redwood City is marking its fifth anniversary this year. To commemorate this milestone, we have invited Leticia Britos Cavagnaro to join us and share insights from her latest book, Experiments in Reflection. In a rapidly changing world, having the tools to understand what future you want to create is crucial. In this illustrated guide from Stanford University's d.school, you'll learn how to harness the powers of reflection to see what others are missing, and not only learn from the past but shape future possibilities. 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. Through activities based on the science, art, and practice of reflection, this book guides you through simple experiments that teach you how to make meaning from your experiences and, as a result, support your goals and values. Stanford adjunct professor Leticia Britos Cavagnaro sets up each experiment with a stated hypothesis, a simple method, and a direction for gauging your results. With each experiment, you’ll build concrete skills and learn how to shift your mindsets as you strengthen your ability to reflect with purpose. With thought-provoking collage-style illustrations from artist Gabriela Sánchez, Experiments in Reflection helps you tune into your environment, train your intuition, and shape the future you want.
