Thinking Smart offers all that you need to know to achieve just about everything, from managing a delicate relationship, a surprise firing, to creating a winning team or business and more. The book explores smartness by combining economic, psychological, and sociological perspectives in ways that we often overlook in our daily lives. From being a management guru to a corporate leader, Prof. Nirmalya Kumar provides a holistic view of smartness - from the corner office and from a professor's perspective.

We face risks without realising their enormity—death, accidents, ill-health, burglaries, earthquakes, riots, fires and storms. Additional risks, such as the Coronavirus, come about with alarming irregularity to disrupt our lives. Look around and you will see many examples of the deep impact these risks can have. A wage earner's premature death can put paid to their children's education; Chemotherapy can eat up your life's savings; an illness when overseas can leave you confused about how to get treated; heavy rains can flood your home; and an accident can cause litigation.
