Thought literacy is the awareness and management of thoughts. It involves recognizing your thoughts, understanding how they influence your emotions, behavior, and decisions, and choosing how to respond.

An independent educational initiative, our mission is to make understanding your own thinking as common and accessible as learning any other foundational life skill. And for thought literacy to be a household name.

Meet the Founder

Lyndsey Getty created thought literacy with the belief that you shouldn’t need a PhD to understand your thoughts and that everyone deserves access to knowledge about how their mind works.

She continues this work through speaking engagements and the Thoughtbook and Thought Swaps series. With Thought Swaps for Building Metacognition being used to teach social and emotional learning in schools.
