In our ThoughtWeaver app we have created and compiled a wide range of useful assistants and prompts for a variety of tasks and project types, notably to improve thinking and decision-making.
Here is a prompt in the app that you can use to generate diverse perspectives on any situation you are facing. It is optimized for GPT-4 but should also work well in other LLMs.

Only provide insights that are not likely to have already been considered. They must be sophisticated and highly pointed, likely to be surprising, provocative, and insightful.
Repeat this structure for the four remaining perspectives, ensuring each is distinct and grounded in thorough research. The objective is to offer a multifaceted understanding of the topic or issue specified below, highlighting how different cultures, mindsets, and value systems interpret and interact with the issue.
